Schlünder Liqueur Cake – 400g

Baked to European rules. Potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide, both used to treat flour in American baking, are not permitted in the European Union. Six food colours that are still common in American biscuits and iced cakes must carry a warning on the label here, so European bakers stopped using them. Titanium dioxide, used to make icing and coatings an opaque white, has been banned as a food colour in the EU since 2022. It is the same reason the ingredient list on the back of the pack is short.

Premium German pound-style cakes from Schlünder Brot und Kuchen in Arnsberg, each infused with 4% real liqueur. The Amaretto variant is enriched with 6% marzipan for a soft almond character with a nutty finish. The Orange features 7% candied orange peel for a bright citrus note throughout the tender crumb. The Jamaica Rum is enriched with chocolate pieces for a warmly spiced, indulgent flavor. All three contain 1.5% alcohol and are best served sliced at room temperature.
