- Let stand for 30 seconds and then mix in the apple cider vinegar.
- Divide batter evenly between the two cake rounds.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let cool completely before removing from the pan.
Caramel Coconut Pecan Frosting:
- In a large saucepan, mix together coconut milk, honey, egg yolks, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until sauce becomes thick. Remove from heat and mix in pecans and coconut flakes.
