Quick Vanilla Sauce

This is one of my favourite indulgences, courtesy of my Mum. This is a sweet sauce to pour over cupcakes or a vanilla cake or anything that you want to drastically increase the sugar taste of! Whenever I make the “Yellow Cake” recipe from Better Home and Gardens, I make this sauce to go with it. It’s quick, fragrant and sinfully delicious!
