How much vanilla sugar. Where does the melted butter come into play and the Greek yogurt. Nothing in the recipe says anything about the three topics.
Hi Gloria,
Thank you for your questions and pointing that out.
1) Please use 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar.
2) The melted butter comes into play in Step 4, when you add it to the whisked yolks together with other ingredients.
3) Greek yogurt is optional – you can use a dollop of it to put on top when serving the cake (Step 10).
Hope you enjoy!
Absolutely loving it – thank you for sharing!
