There, it became a favorite of influential Burgundian nobility, which propelled \u003cem\u003epain d’épices\u003c\/em\u003e into popularity. Since then, this earthy delicacy has always been strongly associated with Burgundy—and with fabulous gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe for this “gingerbread\" has not changed since its invention: fermented rye flour mixed with honey and spices, baked to a moist, dense loaf, and finished with a signature sugar crumble on top. When you slice it, you are met with the scent of honey and warm spices. The first bite offers a play between the sweetness of the honey and the slightly sour rye flour. Then, the spices dreamily enter: cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, a hint of star anise, black pepper, and ginger.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\r\n\u003cp\u003eCelebration Honey Cake is perfect as a luxurious Christmas gift or as a dessert—try it with sautéed apples heaped upon each slice. It’s equally at ease in savory situations—under a slab of seared foie gras, or joining the cheese platter at the end of a sumptuous meal.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manicaretti-us","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51263383994656,"sku":"81049","price":119.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/6567\/1712\/files\/apidis-celebration-honey-cake-pain-depices.jpg?v=1771939057","url":"https:\/\/www.manicaretti.com\/products\/celebration-honey-cake-french-pain-d-epices","provider":"Manicaretti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
