Last weekend my children placed an order for cake. It had to be baked and chocolatey with cream and fruit. Additionally, the cake should be quick to prepare, because when young people want something sweet, they want it right away and not after dinner the next day. From this idea (and with the ingredients I had in my kitchen) I made shortbread chocolate cake with blancmange, apples and blueberries. The cake was accepted and eaten very fast. An unmistakable asset of this cake was the caster sugar and the blackcurrant sorbet, which perfectly suited the cake.

I managed to save a few pieces of the cake from the hungry gourmands, and this beautiful cake was excellent with hot coffee on a warm spring afternoon.

Ingredients (28×24cm cake tin)
dough
0.5 kg of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
200g of sugar
200g of butter
1 egg
3 tablespoons of cream
2 tablespoons of cocoa
blancmange
2 packets of powdered blancmange
0.75 ml of milk
3 tablespoons of sugar
additional ingredients
3 apples
150g of blueberries

Heat the oven up to 180 degrees C.
Put the flour onto a baking board, make a large dimple in the flour and put the other ingredients of the dough inside it. Chop it all up with a knife. When you have the consistency of crumble topping, you have to knead the dough quickly. Divide the dough into two parts – 2/3 and 1/3. Cover the pieces of the dough with plastic wrap and put them into the freezer. Prepare the thick blancmange. Stir the blancmange powder in 250ml of milk and the sugar. Boil the rest of the milk. Take the milk off the heat and pour the blancmange mixture into it. Boil for a while, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat. Wash the apples and blueberries. Peel and cube the apples. Grate the bigger part of the dough onto a baking sheet. Put the hot blancmange onto it. Arrange the apples and blueberries on the blancmange and grate the rest of the dough onto the top. Bake for 50 minutes. Sprinkle with the caster sugar before serving.

Enjoy your meal!
