It’d be true to say that we have a bit of a sweet tooth here at The Amazing Blog so we couldn’t resist trying Di Cristian Dessert’s Baba Rattolo! Di Cristian Dessert’s are a twist on a classic rum baba bringing new ways and flavours like Limoncello and Chocolate to the baba, and this is another one of our #amazingfinds that we just had to share.
For those of you new to the baba cake, it is typically made as a small yeast cake saturated in a syrup made from rum. Di Cristian Desserts are purveyors of these fine babas, an Italian-based bakery with a long-standing family heritage for the past four generations. Di Cristian uses the simple flavours of the past to inspire him in his confectionary creations. Think baked goods where ‘tradition meets innovation.’ These baba cakes are cooked in sealed jars using high quality, 100% natural ingredients like eggs, flour, and butter. The cakes remain fresh without preservatives for up to 6 months when stored in the sealed jars at room temperature.
To serve, remove the baba cake from the jar and slice vertically. Once the cake is removed from the jar, they suggest eating it within a few hours – which is our case, was about 10 minutes! The sliced cake can be dressed with various toppings, such as berries or whipped cream, but we preferred it plain. Which was our favourite? Hands down, it had to be the Limoncello for being so deliciously light and zesty and melting in our mouths. We think that these desserts are perfect for any occasion be it elevenses, teatime, supper or if you have enough self-control, as a store cupboard standby for when those special guests arrive. Each sealed jar cake serves 6 to 8 people and can be purchased here for 17€.
