What can I use instead of vanilla sugar?
Hi Ariel,
You can use a tablespoon of regular sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

came out delicious!moisty and soft
I used 2 cups of sugar instead of 3 (the icing adds lots of sweetnes to the cake)
For icing, I added a drop of coffee to make a richer taste
made it in a medium sized buntd pan -needs a bit more time to bake
