I made this today to use in Tenina's 'Muddled Mother's Day Mess' (http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/recipes/11432/muddled-mothers-day-mess.html) - it worked well! It's not as light as a usual sponge cake, but I'd rather this moist, nutty version myself :) I used Rapadura instead of sugar, and ground up a vanilla bean with it at the start, so didn't need vanilla sugar.  :)
