Recipe - Bondepige Med Slor (Veiled Country Lass)

8 tablespoon Unsalted butter; One fourth pound
3 cup Dry bread crumbs; see note *
3 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoon Grated semisweet baking
chocolate
1 tablespoon Softened butter; for
greasing
2 2/3 cup Applesauce; canned or
homemade
2 tablespoon Unsalted butter; additional,
cut into 1/4inch pieces
1 cup Heavy cream; chilled
2 One half tablespoon Raspberry jam; 2 to 3 tbsps,
optional

*Note : fine, dry bread crumbs made from dark rye or pumpernickel bread

Melt the first amount of butter in a large heavy pan over medium heat. When
the foam subsides stir in the bread crumbs and the sugar. Reduce the heat
to low and continue to stir and cook until evenly browned and the bread
crumbs are dry and crisp.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated chocolate; mix and stir
until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated. Set aside to
cool for a while.

Heat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a shallow 1quart pudding mold,
souffle dish or cake pan with the 1 tablespoon of softened butter.

Cover the bottom of the dish with a 1/2inch layer of the toasted bread
crumbs. Spoon a thick layer of the applesauce over the crumbs, then add
another layer of crumbs. Continue alternating layers of crumbs and
applesauce finishing with a layer of crumbs. Dot the final crumb layer with
the 1/4inch bits of butter.

Bake for 25 minutes on the middle rack of the oven; cool to room
temperature.

Just before serving, whip the heavy cream until it holds its shape and pipe
or spread the top of the cake with it.

Decorate with dabs of the jam if desired.

Serves 4 to 6.
