While the word ‘vanilla’ can be used to mean kinda boring, but there is nothing boring about this cake! When I was tasked with the idea of creating the Ultimate Vanilla Cake, I knew I could create something delicious and moorish.
The key is to use good quality vanilla. The variety of vanilla out there is incredible, but getting paste, extract or beans that are good quality is essential for the flavour and end result of your bake.
The brief for this cake was also to tie in with Mother’s Day, and I couldn’t think of any better way to decorate this cake than covering it with beautiful edible flowers for the occasion. I was inspired by this image of a cute little cake decorated with edible flowers for this project, however you could also used dried edible flowers to decorate this cake.
This Ultimate Vanilla Cake was created for Grounded Pleasures, using their excellent vanilla extract and beans. The recipe can be found on their website via the link below.

Recipe development projects like this one, are my favourite part of my job. Creating a recipe with businesses products means I get to think of new ideas, be creative and also try new things. I also get to eat the cake after, which is a pretty good job perk if you ask me!
If you have a product you’d love me to create some recipes with, just contact me and we can chat about what your business needs. Recipes for your website or blog are great ways to show your customers how to use your products, and the images are great for social media and other marketing content too!
