Introduction
Amarula cream liqueur comes from South Africa, the fruit is from a tree that grows wild in the bushveld, and when it drops off the tree in the summer it ferments naturally. Many wild animals love this fruit and can be seen falling over and very drunk when they eat the fallen fruit that has turned rather alcoholic, its very funny to watch!! A manufacturer has now made this into a rather lovely cream liqueur, not unlike Baileys, and I love to use it in this super cake!
