The French cake 'Savarin' is a true embodiment of the elegance of French pastry tradition. Its history dates back to the 18th century when it was created in honor of the outstanding gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. This cake is characterized by its delicate texture and lightness, while its exquisite soaking with citrus notes adds a special freshness and aroma. The light tartness of lemon and the sweetness of fruits harmoniously combine with the softness of the dough, creating a perfect flavor balance. Savarin is served with whipped cream and fresh fruits, making it not only a delightful dessert but also a true decoration for the festive table. Tasting this cake is a genuine pleasure wrapped in the traditions of French cuisine and its unmatched charm.
