Yalda’s boys made this Vanilla Sponge Cake for her birthday one year, and they all had it for breakfast!

It turns out absolutely delicious and has a bouncy and perfect spring-like consistency, which can be hard to achieve with ground almonds!

The trick is to whisk the eggs with an electric whisk and then carry on whisking the eggs with the coconut sugar.

Decorated with chopped nuts gives it that little crunch on top that is the ideal “healthy” sprinkle!

When her eldest first made it, he said, “Mum, these are your 100s and 1000s!” (British name for sprinkles).

A beautiful cake for any occasion (even breakfast!).
