Polar night has its bright side too. It is funny how you learn to appresiate all those moments when there’s even little bit nature light available. At times I notice that yellow sunbeams are dancing at the walls of my home – and then suddenly it is all gone.

I wanted to share some comfort for this darkness. This cake has attitude and it is at the same time fluffy and very creamy. Blackcurrant is one of my all time favourite berries thanks to the strong flavour suited for so many different treats and cakes. This cake is a combination of powerful blackcurrants, creamy filling, and soft jam.

Colourful food is easy way to uplift tired spirit. It is also be proven that this kind of desserts make you smile, that’s something.
