While this was originally called a flourless vanilla bean cake, it is essentially a flourless white chocolate cake – and we’re all partial to a flourless chocolate cake now and again aren’t we.
Vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract give a gorgeous depth and warmth to the cake, but I think the generous quantities of white chocolate take it from being a very nice cake to an absolutely sensational cake.
The decorating tip is also genius. Very effective and very simple – raid your nana’s doily collection today.
