A savarin is a ring-shaped cake soaked in a sweet syrup, which is similar to a rum baba. In William Drabble's savarin recipe, the cake is finished with freshly whipped cream and fresh raspberries, making a lovely dessert from simple, summer ingredients.
Put the batter into a piping bag, and carefully pipe into the 6 greased, floured savarin moulds
butter for greasing

Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4. Leave the mould in a warm place and allow the batter to prove. It should double in size
5
Once the batter has doubled in size, put the mould into the oven and bake until the cake is golden brown
6
Once cooked, remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. When the cake has cooled to room temperature, remove the mould and leave the cake to cool further

Whilst the cake is cooling, make a syrup. In a clean pan, combine the sugar and water over a medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook until the mix reduces down to a syrup texture
400ml of water
200g of sugar
8
Bring the syrup to the boil, and add the savarin to the pan. Re-boil then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Repeat this process with the remaining 5 savarins

When the syrup cools, remove the savarin and drain thoroughly. Place in the centre of a serving plate
10
Fill the hole with whipped cream and raspberries and serve immediately
