Bordeaux cakes are moist, little, fluted French cakes with the interior flavours of rum and vanilla and a caramelised, crunchy exterior. The interior texture of these little cakes reminds me of custard. For perfect Bordeaux cakes, the batter is best made overnight. Here is a great Bordeaux cake recipe to make for all the family to enjoy!
