Yeast batter cake cocoa liqueur
This recipe yields a delightfully moist yeast batter cake, soaked in crème de cacao liqueur to give it the rich bitter taste of dark chocolate, and some orange and vanilla flavour notes. Dressed with a dollop of lychee, white chocolate and Greek yoghurt mousse for a refreshing, sweet-flavoured accent, this piece of pastry is a real treat to the eye and the palate.
