Surely you remember Vanilla Flavor? That 90s rap supergroup born from an unlikely collaboration between Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flavor Flav? Oh, wait, that never happened, which must mean we re talking about the actual flavor, vanilla.

Vanilla, however, is far more than just an ice cream flavor, as anyone who s ever done much baking knows.
