Why cooks start here

Garibaldis belongs to the everyday cooking of Mexico City, where its aroma calls everyone to the table. This home version keeps the flavors direct and generous, the way a family cook serves it.

Garibaldis, a staple in the everyday cooking of Mexico City, are small, sweet cakes that invite everyone to gather around the table. Their unmistakable aroma wafts through the home, signaling a moment of shared indulgence. These cakes are a beloved treat, baked with the kind of generosity that marks a family cook's touch, making them a comforting presence in any household. Each bite of a Garibaldi delivers a delightful balance of buttery, vanilla-scented cake and the luscious tang of apricot jam. Topped with a playful coat of white nonpareil sprinkles, these cakes offer a satisfying crunch and a hint of whimsy. Their simplicity and direct flavors make them a cherished addition to any dessert spread.
