  • Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the cake is lightly browned and the center is firm to the touch.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and cool completely on a rack.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, and maple syrup until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle the sauce on top of the cake, and serve.

Notes

You may use only maple syrup or only honey to sweeten this cake. A non-dairy cream cheese can be used to keep this recipe dairy-free. Almond butter or cashew butter are great choices for the base of the caramel sauce.
