Everyone’s heard of coffee and cake, but have you heard of cocktails and cake? We reckon it’s an even better combination. Our apple and pear crumble cake isn’t too sweet, but it’s nice and light and makes the perfect pairing for our sweet, sour and seriously yummy whisky sour cocktail. The cake will serve six, but the cocktail recipe serves one, so bear this in mind when you're shaking and baking.
