There are some amazing walking trails lining the coast between Sydney’s beaches. The path between Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach is probably one of the more impressive examples, and is also probably the most well-known. Crazy scenery!
I made the walk with my american bud Jamie, who has family roots in the area going back several generations. Throughout the afternoon, we passed by great views of the ocean, watched fisherman dropping their lines 100+ feet down from the cliffs into the crashing waves, saw birds of prey nesting along the rocky terrain, and took in the incredible tidal action against the coastal cliffs.
Knowing the walk would take us several hours, we packed snacks ahead of time (surprise, surprise). We bought some cakes at a Bondi Beach cafe and swung by a bottle shop for a bottle of white as well. Jamie's sticky bun was tasty, but I prefered my cake - a simple white cake with a rich hazelnut filling, coated with caramelized sugar. The caramelized sugar top isn't too dissimilar from crème brulee – you can either use a blowtorch or burners in the oven to do this. Mom's white cake recipe below, as well as a great chocolate frosting recipe I've used a number of times.
