A while back, I posted a carrot cake with rye flour for a friend’s birthday, which was delicious! But someone else got a bit jealous and also demanded a cake… well… What could I do?? I didn’t really know which cake to make, so I had the initial idea of baking a black forest cake. Well, that didn’t work for the lack of cherries in syrup. So I decided to make Ly’s cake, a black forest cake with a twist of almonds, mulberry and strawberry sauce… you should try to make it!!

• 400g of unsalted butter;
