I just love this recipe! I've been baking this cake for almost 20 years now and I never get tired of it. My dinner guests really seem to love it too! Decorate the cake with honeyberries and strawberries early in the season, or use blueberries and blackberries in late summer.
Instructions:
Brush a circular cake pan with butter or oil. Put a baking sheet in the bottom.
Melt the butter in a pot and add the crumbled crackers, oats and sugar.
Put the batter in the pan, press the batter firmly against the bottom and the sides of the cake pan. Try to make the edges quite high.
Let the crust cool down in the refrigerator and turn the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius.)
Use a mixer and whip the ingredients for the filling until smooth.
Pour the mixture in the crust.
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes and then let it cool down in the cake pan.
Cook berries for the sauce and press them through a fine sieve.
Decorate the cake with the berries and pour the sauce on top.
Put the cake in the fridge for a few hours to set.
Garnish with edible flowers and fresh berries.
The recipe comes from the Swedish cookbook Den stora vegetariska kokboken by Lottie Eriksson.
