French toast sponge cake iced with maple syrup frosting and topped with candied vegetarian bacon
My Dad is Canadian which means he loves maple syrup and French toast topped with bacon and loads and loads of maple syrup is his favourite thing. When it was his birthday, I couldn't resist transforming his favourite treat into a cake and this tasted just like it.
