(I believe the written instructions showing 12 tsp vanilla may simply be a typo and should read 2 tsp.)


Flavour Boosters

🍋 Lemon Cake

For an even brighter flavour:

Add the zest and juice of one unwaxed lemon to every 2-egg batch.


🍫 Chocolate Cake

Delicious as it is, but for extra texture try adding:

  • Cacao nibs
  • Chopped hazelnuts

☕ Coffee & Walnut Cake

For a deeper coffee flavour:

  • Add one shot of espresso, or
  • Dissolve 1 tsp instant coffee in 15ml hot water before adding to the batter.
