Steps
It’s vitally important to be in a room at room temperature before you begin this recipe.
Swagger over to your oven and with a swift left hook of your right fist, jab it up to 350 F (180 C) and hit the Start button.
Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well.
In another mixing bowl that looks just like the first one but isn’t, mix the eggs, coconut oil, caramel extract and cream with an electric mixer you have not forgotten to plug in.
Combine the contents of both bowls and mix with a spatula (not a turntable, this isn’t that kind of mixing).
Grease the bottom of an 8” cake tin with butter. If centimetres (attention, not centipedes) are more your thing, a 20 cm tin will do the trick.
Pour the mixture into the cake tin and send it into the oven for a good baking. That should take about 27 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the frosting. If you have a bib handy, now’s the time to put it on, because you’ll be drooling like a baby over the bowl.
Put all the frosting ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a hand mixer, trying not to add any drool to the mix.
Leave the cake to cool when you pull it out of the oven, then spread a generous layer of frosting all over it.
Lay it on thick (you might as well!) with a sprinkling of chocolate chips and a dusting of powdered erithrytol. Mmmm!
Serve with tears of pure, guilt-free joy.
