Moist & Dense Texture
This recipe used fruit juices, so the end result is a decadent moist and dense texture. If you prefer airy and light, this is not the recipe for you! It’s perfect for autumn and winter because it’s so warming, but it really can be enjoyed all year round.
Pomegranate Glaze
This fruity glaze isn’t necessary, but it is so delicious. I recommend storing it on the size and adding it individually as needed. I used a mortar and pestle to smash the pomegranates, and left the seeds in for extra nutrients.
