No stranger to elderflower liqueur, I’ve loved its sweet floral notes the moment it’s heavenly nectar kissed my lips on a tipsy girls night out. Unlike the girls night, the story behind St Germain is as charming as the taste behind it. An artisanal, all-natural French liqueur created in 2007, elderflower blossoms are harvested once a year during a few fleeting weeks in summer – carefully hand picked at the height of their aroma. With flavor notes of peach, pear, and grapefruit, it’s dances softly on your palate and is a welcome, refined addition to your liquor cabinet. And after making this cake, trust me when I say it will bring a breath of fresh spring air into your kitchen.
