Chocolate caramel cake 2

Celebrate

Eat Cake

Find any excuse.

Especially when it's chocolate caramel whether homemade or professionally baked, eat cake. For any reason or no reason at all. We ordered the one above in honor of a family household member's half year passed birthday. Topped with real flowers for fun. This petite but decadent three layer is from one of our favorites, Sweet Laurel.

We tried baking at home using their cookbook to find they all kept turning out fantastical even following all the gluten free, vegan instructions also making it slightly healthier. Think almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, Himalayan pink salt.
