Description
Without this cake in our family, there is no summer... and when the season begins, red currant, the first thing we recall that's about it! Talking only about the red currants because it is here the Queen - its acidity, its freshness does not compare with anything, but for what berry to marry is up to you. We have this currant hanging on the Bush until the fall, so there is a huge scope for creativity and strawberries, and gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries... the list is endless, you just need to try and then to try again, and again and again!

Cooking
The only thing this recipe requires time - a berry - it is necessary to prepare in advance. Rinse and sort berries, currants can be partially on to keep twigs, she's so more interesting, textured look when applying. But if you do not want
Then the berries need to pour brown sugar (I used fine sugar). Leave for at least 12 hours, stirring occasionally - you can leave for the night. Our task is to berries gave the juice will be needed for impregnation. So if this happens earlier - that is just great - saves time.
When the berry is ready to begin the cake. I begin with, preheat the oven to 180 degrees and prepare a baking dish (I have a diameter of 20 cm), zastelil her baking paper.
Combine the egg with the sugar and punched with a mixer until the mixture brighten. It should increase in volume and the sugar is completely dissolved. (My secret is to whisk in a tall glass with a pinch of salt and a couple drops of lemon juice or citric acid)
Now pour the beaten eggs in a bowl and there sift the starch and flour. Quickly, but gently knead the dough, trying to preserve his air. Pour the batter into the prepared pan
And bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a wooden skewer
While the cake is in the oven, prepare the impregnation. You need to drain through a sieve formed in the berries juice.
Bring it to boil in a saucepan and pour in the cognac. Uvarivaniem all of 5 minutes. Here at once say, that if they ate the kids about the history of alcohol is better to forget! In this case, simply boil down the juice.
Ready the cooled cake pinned as often as possible with a toothpick
And impregnate it with our boiled syrup
Now upload our berries
And that's the glade we did it!
