I made a fun cocktail the other day and got the inspiration for this delicious cake. The cocktail was a spiked sparkling cider consisting of white wine, club soda, and Martinelli’s cider. Basically the Martinelli’s cider inspired me. The crisp taste and bubbles!
I really enjoy recipe development. It’s also super fulfilling to see people try out and enjoy my recipes (hint hint). I get inspiration from cookbooks, other blogs, cocktails, TV, crazy dreams, you name it!
I’m proud of this one. It’s semi-complex but comes together a lot easier than it reads. Let me know if you give it a go!
