Tips and Tricks!

Would you like to enhance your cake a bit? Here are some recommendations:

1. For extra crunch: Use an air fryer instead of the oven. Cook at 190°C for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
2. For a spicier kick: Add a teaspoon of sriracha or chilli flakes to the glaze.
3. Make it your own: Try swapping sweet chilli sauce for buffalo sauce or BBQ sauce for different flavours.
