Vanilla Dream Cake with Daim

Vanilla Dream Cake with Daim
This rich vanilla cake delivers a perfect balance of tender crumb and crunch, thanks to generously layered Daim pieces. Sweet and buttery with a hint of vanilla, it’s finished with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar for a simple yet festive look. Ideal for celebrations or turning an ordinary day into something special, this cake bakes up moist, holds together beautifully when sliced, and disappears fast at any table.
