  • 300 grams strawberries

Directions
  1. An evening before, put the flowers into the bowl with buttermilk and leave it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, remove the flowers , sieve if necessary. Leave until needed.
  2. Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Sprinkle them with elderflower cordial or lemon juice.
  3. Mix egg yolks with sugar and butter to get a foamy mixture. Add buttermil and mix for a minute. Then add all the dry ingredients - flour, cornstarch and baking soda and mix to get a nice batter.

Pour the batter into a silicone bundt cake mold (23 cm diameter).
  4. Bake for 50 minutes at 190°C. After 30 minutes cover with aluminum foil so it doesn't burn.
  5. Serve with a cup of cofee, tee or with a glass of elderflower cordial. Enjoy!
