I’ve had such great success with the Chocolate Magic Bean Cake that I decided to convert the recipe to make a caramel flavoured cake.
I like to use whole sugar in my cooking, so I tend to make caramel and chocolate flavours because rapadura still contains all the molasses and will make batters darker. Coconut sugar is the same as it’s quite dark in colour.
This cake is delicious and is gluten free to boot.

Caramel Icing
