When anyone asks me what my secret ingredient is in my baked goods I always answer with VANILLA!! I have always added a little extra to all of my recipes, it just adds that little something!

This Fluffy Flapjack Cake with Creamy Vanilla Buttercream is the ultimate combination of breakfast and dessert. The layers of soft fluffy flapjack filled in with a creamy vanilla buttercream is everything you could ever want from a stack! Not to mention that delicious vanilla scent…

    I live on a Wine & Olive Estate in Wellington, surrounded by beautiful mountains, water features, fauna and flora, the perfect Christmas setting! Fluffy Flapjack Cake with Creamy Vanilla Buttercream will compliment the Champagne Breakfast served here on Christmas morning, perfectly! Thank you #Rubybox!
