GRANDMA’S STREGA BUNDT CAKE RECIPE

The Strega bundt cake is one of those grandma’s recipes that evoke home, simplicity, and childhood memories. The kitchen fills with an intoxicating aroma. Once upon a time, Strega liqueur was always used to flavor all homemade desserts. Incredibly soft. Perfect for a snack, for breakfast and to dip into milk. Each slice is a dive into the past, a sweet cuddle that smells of tradition.

This is a Campanian-flavored bundt cake, because the liqueur used is Strega, a typical Campanian liqueur. Tasty and really great for desserts!
