This is a warm cake-in-a-ramekin, that’s ideal to serve after a lovely meal, and you want a dessert that carries forward the sentiment. While it looks super fancy, it is basically a cake, baked in a ramekin to give the feel of a soufflé – this goes best with whipped cream and maple syrup, served on a pretty plate + ramekin set.
You could also add in fresh fruit into the batter such as finely chopped berries, mangoes, or shredded apples or pears – both will work charmingly with the heady spice. I’ve also added shredded pumpkin into this once!
Make this once, and I assure, this becomes your go-to instant sit-down dinner dessert.
