The Bergamot Cake Recipe is a sweet with the intense taste and aroma of this truly unique citrus fruit. Bergamot cake is soft and moist, and not very sweet. If you want, you can create a lemon glaze to cover it. I preferred to leave it natural, as I intended it for breakfast.
Bergamot Cake Recipe
The execution is really easy, and the result is really amazing thanks to the fruit itself which really has such a rich flavour and taste, that the possible addition of other aromas would be useless as it would cover them.
Bergamot oils, juice and pulp are used. Many products are produced with its essence, both food and non-food. With it a strong essence called Neroli is produced, its oils are used for the production of perfumes and bath foam. In the kitchen, on the other hand, the essence is produced to prepare sweets, candies, candied peel, to flavour the black tea that becomes the famous Earl Grey, a tea loved by the British, excellent for breakfast with a drop of milk. Without forgetting drinks and alcohol.
