I really encourage you to take part, because the book is truly great. The idea for this cake came up on a [forum](http://kuchniaizycie.com/forum.php), when one of the members suggested baking it together. I couldn't join in right away, but I quickly caught up. I don't regret it one bit. Even though I made a few changes to the recipe, the cake turned out delicious and delicate, and it disappeared very quickly. I used apricots and strawberries, but you can use lots of seasonal fruit, such as cherries, currants, gooseberries or blueberries. The amount of sugar in the pudding can be adjusted depending on the fruit you use. Coconut pudding cake with fruit I used finely shredded coconut, which you couldn't feel in the pudding. But you can strain the milk to get rid of it, or add it to the crumble topping instead of the pudding. Coconut pudding cake with fruit **Instructions:** For the base: Sift the flours into a bowl, add the sugar and the butter cut into small pieces, then mix and rub it between your fingers until it turns into crumbs. Add the egg and quickly knead into a shortcrust dough. Put it in the fridge for about 60 minutes, then roll it out to fit a 20x30 cm pan (I pinch off pieces of dough and press them into the bottom of the pan like a "patchwork"). Prick the base with a fork and put it back in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), and once the dough comes out of the fridge, bake it for 25 minutes, until pale golden. Then take it out and let it cool. While the base cools, make the pudding. In a saucepan, heat the condensed milk with 1 cup of the milk and the shredded coconut. Dissolve the pudding mix in the rest of the cold milk, and when the milk in the saucepan comes to a boil, add the dissolved pudding mix and, stirring vigorously, cook over low heat until the pudding is thick. Wash and dry the fruit, then pit or cut it if needed. Arrange it on the base cut side up and pour the pudding over it. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Sift both flours from the crumble ingredients into a bowl, add the sugar, shredded coconut and pieces of cold butter, and mix until it turns into crumbs. Sprinkle it over the pudding layer and bake for 35 minutes, until golden. Let it cool well before slicing, because the warm pudding can spill out of the pan. Enjoy!

I like classic, simple cakes. - **Ola** · 2012-07-13 18:50 I don't know what it is about coconut, but I could eat it with almost anything. - **flowerek (Author)** · 2012-07-13 18:58 Thank you Karmelitko :) Ola, you're right, that's how I am with coconut in baked goods, I'd just eat it and eat it. Same with lemon desserts, by the way :) They're just addictive :) - **Asiek** · 2012-07-13 19:31 I love cakes like this so much. They're perfect in their simplicity. It looks delicious at your place, and with that coconut on top too… - **Forex** · 2012-07-18 08:48 Great recipe! - **tuptusia** · 2012-07-20 17:33 I think I'll try it this weekend with cherries :) - **Nemesis** · 2012-10-10 17:49 Hello, I have a question: can the condensed milk be sweetened? That's the kind I bought, and I'm making this cake today and now I'm wondering whether it will turn out okay.. Please answer quickly and let me know if it'll be fine. Best wishes Very warmly :) - **flowerek (Author)** · 2012-10-10 18:01 · reply Hello :) The milk can absolutely be sweetened, and that's what I used too. You just need to use unsweetened pudding mix then. If that one has sugar in it too, the cake will be a bit sweeter. In that case you can also leave out the sugar in the batter. Best wishes to you too :) - **Nemesis** · 2012-10-10 18:06 · reply Thank you so much for the lightning-fast reply :) So everything's good!! Have a lovely evening. - **Beti** · 2014-12-30 17:18 Hello, can I use frozen fruit in the cake? Best wishes - **flowerek (Author)** · 2015-01-03 17:46 · reply Hello, sorry for such a late reply. Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but thaw it ahead of time and drain it well.
