Coffee Syrup Cake with Dates

Cakes, Easy As 1, 2, 3!

‘Simple’ cakes don’t equal ‘boring’ cakes. With great ingredients, the simpler a cake the better it tastes! That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favourite easy-to-make cake recipes (we love how that sounds). Here you’ll find simple, but impressive cakes that range from very-special Vanilla to classic Coffee!

 

Strawberry Vanilla Cake

Two classic flavours combine to make this incredible Strawberry Vanilla Cake! For a little extra wow-factor, decorate with freshly cut strawberries and a touch of whipped cream to impress (without the stress).
