Strawberry & mint drizzle cake made with Burren Balsamic

Friday, August 11, 2017

I love drizzle cakes and making this version was an experiment that totally paid off. Strawberry & Mint drizzle cake made with Burren Balsamic's strawberry and mint infusion- delicious!


My friend Pamela introduced me to Strawberry & mint Burren Balsamic as it is her favourite addition to Prosecco.  I was a bit concerned when I saw her about to add it to my drink but I was pleasantly surprised as it was delicious.  I promptly bought some and have been adding it to Prosecco ever since.

It got me thinking what else It could be used in and I decided to try a drizzle cake.  Lemon drizzle is a favourite in the Eating Ideas household but I thought this could be a lovely alternative.  I have to say, it worked a treat.  I served it to some friends and they loved it which is always a good sign!

Dont panic if you don’t have any of the Strawberry + mint balsamic, you can make it as a lemon drizzle cake.  Recipe, instructions and substitutions are below the picture gallery.
