The idea for this unique flavor combination came from our friends over at Kim and Jake’s Cakes, a fabulous bakery here in Boulder, Colorado. For a finishing touch, top with Cream Cheese Frosting (page 95), or leave them plain and serve alongside eggs and fruit salad for a delightfully wholesome, yet elegant brunch.
