quick to make yet sophisticated

First, knead the dough ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and press them into a springform pan lined with baking paper (you may need to pull up the edges slightly). Pre-bake the base in a preheated oven at 220°C for about 12 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the topping ingredients in a saucepan while stirring, let them cool slightly, and then spread them evenly over the dough. Bake for about 20 minutes at 200°C (I set the oven to 280°C for the last 10 minutes to ensure the cake gets a nice brown finish).
