This recipe takes me back to the days when I was young, operated on minimal sleep on the weekends and was able to religiously eat 3 sweet donuts for brekkie with coffee from donut king before starting work in the morning, all without adding a centimetre to my waist line!
Those days are long gone and whilst I don’t indulge in donuts for brekkie I do occasionally get a craving for something very sweet, last night was one of those nights.
If you have a sweet tooth this recipe is super easy and best of all it does not ask for any out of the ordinary ingredients. You will note that I have used Heilala pure vanilla bean sugar. The sugar is made from vanilla beans that have been naturally dried in the sun, in the South Pacific, Vava’u Tonga. The dried beans are then mixed with organic sugar and a dash of Heilala vanilla extract is also added. I love it however normal vanilla sugar can do the trick as well or alternatively you could mix sugar with a little cinnamon for the topping.
The cake tastes great cold but I would highly recommend warming it up in the microwave oven for 15-20 seconds just before serving.
What is your favourite sweet treat???

This looks absolutely delicious. I will be giving this a go.
I’m not sure I have one particular favourite sweat treat. However, I am very partial to anything made with passionfruit. Can’t get enough of the little things.
Fiona, it was. I love it warmed up YUM!

Not sure what my favourite sweet treat is (probably something lemon-based??) but I know that my favourite colour is turquoise! LOVE those plates and cups. Gorgeous photos in this post.
