Bodacious
Sakura Cherry Blossom

 

Every year, Spring sees a festival of colour in the Northern Hemisphere. In Japan, one particular treat is the celebration of the Cherry Blossom, as the country turns itself light pink and delights the senses with floral aromas and flavours.
Our Sakura Cherry Blossom Latte blend is a tribute to this celebration and can be enjoyed any time of the year as a hot latte, cold milkshake or icy frappe.

 

Explore our range of recipe ideas below, keeping in mind that all of the ‘Bodacious Latte Mix’ components in these recipes are interchangeable with each other.

Freshly Sliced Fruit

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Cups Bodacious Sakura Latte Mix

  • 1 Cup Whole Milk

  • 2 1/2 Cups Flour

  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

  5. Add the flour mixture in four parts, alternating with the milk in three parts, beating just until each addition is incorporated before adding the next; do not overmix.
  6. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan or pans and spread it so that it is smooth in the pan(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 40 minutes for the 9 x 13-inch pan or 45 minutes for the 8-inch pans, rotating the pan(s) halfway through.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in the pan then remove from pans.
