Vanilla-Orange Snack Cake with Apricots
A dusting of Vanilla Sugar before baking gives the fresh apricots on this buttery cornmeal cake a jammy quality and yields a delicious crust on top. Note: The recipe is easy but does take planning, because the homemade Vanilla Sugar needs to sit for 10 days before using. (You can sub plain sugar and vanilla extract in a pinch.)
