Blue Cheese and Prune Cake

6 servings

60 minutes

This cake with blue cheese and prunes is a refined combination of salty, sweet, and smoky flavors inspired by Italian culinary traditions. Prunes add a light fruity sweetness to the bake, while the savory blue cheese and crispy bacon create a rich, layered taste. The addition of Gruyère cheese gives the dough a pleasant stretchiness and tenderness. This cake is perfect for a morning breakfast with a cup of aromatic coffee or an evening aperitif with a glass of wine. It can be served as an independent snack or as an accompaniment to cheeses and nuts. Its small shape and ease of preparation make it an excellent choice for cozy home evenings and festive gatherings.
