Buttery cake with blackcurrant jam – notes
I found the recipe for this currant-coconut cake online (blog Dieta moja pasja).
Its name “France Elegance” intrigued me a bit, because, let’s be honest – the cake doesn’t look particularly “elegant”.
I’d be more inclined to call it “rustic.”
The cake supposedly originates from France – although I don’t think it’s known there specifically as France Elegance :D
Name aside – the cake is very nice.
First and foremost, it’s incredibly simple to make, and anyone can easily handle it.
It doesn’t require a mixer, whipping, or any special baking skills.
You must try it, and then also try other buttermilk cakes and coconut cakes.
