Nothing tastes like summer better in winter than the fruity-sweet Aperol cake.

We miss ending the mild summer evenings with a refreshing spritz. That’s why we give winter a little pinch of summer, with a fruity-sweet Aperol spritz cake! Cake? Yes, you heard that right! The delicious eggnog Gugelhupf, for example, proves that alcohol works in cakes – so it also works with Aperol. With its fruity-sweet notes and the slightly bitter taste of Aperol, your cake will become something very special. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your baking utensils and then let’s have some baking fun!
