Fresh from the Marmot's kitchen: verbena - lime cake

April is kind of a month for sweet treats. So our marmots have dug out their aprons and chef's hats to come up with this brand new recipe: a verbena - lime cake.

But not just any verbena! Les 2 Marmottes 100% ORGANIC verbena. With its light orange colour and sweetness enhanced by a hint of lemon, this dessert is a real treat. 

On your marks, get set, cook - this is going to be fun!
