“We weren't too surprised to see the royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had chosen an elegant and contemporary lemon and elderflower cake for their British-spring wedding. But we couldn't resist having a go at creating a delicious. take on it. Our version features a light and fluffy buttermilk cake laced with nutty coconut. It's soaked in a bold lemon and elderflower syrup to keep the cake layers moist and bring in those floral notes, with a pretty, citrussy-sweet swirl of lemon curd to sandwich the layers. Finally, Swiss meringue buttercream – the ultimate cake icing – is flavoured with white chocolate and vanilla for a luxurious, silky finish. Fresh elderflower blossoms and autumnal blooms are the finishing stylish touches” - Phoebe Wood, food director of delicious.
