Notes
Notes You could certainly use only maple syrup or only honey to sweeten this cake, but I like the unique flavors that come from using both. Feel free to use a non-dairy cream cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free. Almond butter or cashew butter are great choices for the base of the caramel sauce because of their neutral flavor, but you can use any nut butter youd like!
