Scale
Savarin:
- 250 g flour
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml milk, warm
- 4 tsp sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 30 ml vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- Pinch of salt
Syrup:
- 150 g sugar
- 450 ml water
- 1/2 tsp rum essence or cream essence
To Decorate (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries or fresh fruit
Instructions
- Mix yeast with warm milk and 1 tsp sugar.
- Let it sit for 15 minutes until foamy.
- Beat in eggs and melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Add the rest of the flour, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Mix to a sticky dough.
- Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm spot for 20–30 mins, until doubled.
- Pour into a greased mold and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 mins. Cool slightly.
- While the syrup is still warm, pour it over the cake and let it soak in, as this will allow full absorption.
- Slice horizontally and pipe whipped cream in the middle. Top with cherries or fruit.
Notes and Optional Extras
- Add an extra ½ tsp lemon zest to the syrup for brightness.
- Add whipped cream or custard in the middle for a richer taste.
- Don’t worry if the dough looks dry; it softens beautifully in the syrup.
- You can swap rum essence for orange or vanilla essence for a twist.
- Let the cake soak for at least 15 minutes for the best flavor.
