GalompramaGalombrama translates to ‘Good Thing’ which it really is, it’s also very easy to make.

There are a variety of ways to make this cake so you can add or take things away as you prefer.

If you make too much syrup just pop the left overs into the fridge and keep it for the next cake you make.
