Cook’s Notes

Savarins were originally baked in a large ring in 19th-century France but are commonly made in miniature. You can use either size mold or substitute an 8-inch (6-cup) Bundt pan. If making one larger cake, bake the savarin for 15 minutes. Sour 私人电影院可以啪啪 have an exceptionally short season in June and July, and are best when sweetened and cooked, rather than eaten out of hand.
