Beautiful and Vibrant Pink Cherry Blossom Cake
What does cherry blossom/sakura taste like?
If you’ve ever had a pink-colored mochi, you’ve probably tasted sakura. Most pink mochi are cherry blossom flavored!
But in general, sakura has a very delicate, subtle, perfumey flavor. It’s similar to using lavender (like in these Lavender Earl Grey Cookies) or rose water (like in these Strawberry Rose Snickerdoodles) in baked goods.
Too much sakura would taste too soapy and bitter, but a drop or two is just perfect. I replaced vanilla extract for sakura extract in one of my favorite white cake recipes and couldn’t get enough of it.
