When driving down the Princes Freeway to Geelong, I like nothing better than an excuse for a small diversion for coffee and cake. I stopped at the lesser known Domani Pasticceria in Hoppers Crossing based upon a recommendation from a blog reader a while ago. The place is well hidden from the street and looked closed initially. However, once inside the lovely lady behind the counter soon provided us with sustenance. The vanilla slice is a cross between a mille-feuille and a cream slice - with big dollops of lumpy strawberry jam scattered amongst the sweetened (but sadly lacking vanilla) cream. The pastry was excellent; very flaky, firm to pick up and yet easy to bite through. With sugar in the cream, sugar dusted on top and sugar in the jam the whole slice was slightly too sweet for my liking, Well worth the small detour into unknown territory for something familiar yet very different.
