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.
