Black pepper Vanilla Layer Cake

Method

1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the vanilla layer and let it whipped, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the unsalted butter along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the coconut milk and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
