Savarin is a type of rich, yeast-leavened cake that is typically soaked in a syrup made from sugar, water, and often flavored with rum or other spirits. It is named after the famous French chef and writer Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who is known for his contributions to gastronomy. The cake is usually shaped like a ring and has a light, airy texture. Traditionally, Savarin is served with whipped cream or fresh fruit, making it a popular dessert in many cultures. It can also be found in variations, such as being filled with pastry cream or topped with chocolate. This delightful cake is enjoyed for its sweet flavor and moist consistency.
