[@lenakrupinski6303]

🙏🎆🙏

[@vanessanoel7414]

I love how they ended up with chocolate on their shirts 😜

[@hellooutthere8956]

you just want to take their shirt off. haha. just joking.

[@3kb787]

I hate how the one on the left always puts his fingers in the food then licks and continues. So unhygienic smh

[@alexl7278]

I made this cake couple of days ago for a friend's birthday and it might have just been the best one I have EVER eaten! Hands down, so good :) Thank you for the recipe. I halved it and adjusted it a little since I didn't have all the right ingredients and measurements on hand. I used half apple sauce and half coconut oil and instead of maple syrup used some date syrup (a little less) and probably added a splash more of rice milk. Just putting it out there if anyone wants to make the same adjustment. It was super delicious. Also added a drizzle of lemon juice into the cream mixture.

[@lenakrupinski6303]

Hi , love how you adjusted the recipe. I have Algarve syrup , hoping to save money & put half maple syrup & Algarve syrup. I like the fact there's a lot of coconut oil as I've heard it's good for brain fog because of the fats in it.💖💜🌹

[@MissAyela]

I made this for my husband's birthday this year and all I can say is WOW!! I halved the recipe, as only the two us us would be eating it, used two 7inch tins & baked them for 35-40 mins (my oven runs a bit hot as well). Turned out amazing and easily still could have served 6-8 people! He took the leftovers to work and all of his collogues were amazed that it was vegan. Thanks guys for an amazing recipe that will be my go-to for celebrations from now on! x

[@SegotiaMusic]

I've made this cake a few times and i must say it is AMAZING ! hands down the best cake i've ever had. Definitely worth making!

[@thehappypear]

Wooo nice one Sorcha! 😘😘

[@rickyjacoby8733]

You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.

[@kelvinkelvin467]

@Ricky Jacoby instablaster ;)

[@rickyjacoby8733]

@Kelvin Kelvin thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@rickyjacoby8733]

@Kelvin Kelvin It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@apple369]

"A big shout out to Canada." I'm swooning over here in Vancouver. Mercy, that chocolate cake looks amazing.

[@lyndsie92]

apple369 lol sitting over here in Saskatoon feeling like some sort of maple syrup king.

[@thehappypear]

Hahahah big love to Canada😘😘

[@lynnstewart2326]

Canada loves you. I know I do. Yummy

[@b0ygrinder]

I'm from Winnipeg! :)

[@manicmuffin]

Looks amazing! This is definitely going to be Christmas dessert. Tip: If you only want the cream of the coconut, open the chilled can from the bottom, drain out the liquid, and you'll only have pure coconut cream at the "bottom" without having to delicately scoop at it trying to keep it all separate. :)

[@thehappypear]

Oh nice one! 👍👍

[@Luka-tb2bp]

I made this cake yesterday for my birthday and everyone loved it! Thank you two for such a wonderful recipe. I will definitely make this cake again!

[@toniflanny]

Fellas!!! I halved the recipe, turned it into cupcake form and sent them to work with my husband as a Chrissy treat for the boys. I wasn't sure how they would go as everyone on his crew is a carnivore and sceptical of our vegan food but.... They bloody loved them!! Shout out from the Flanagan Family (Rory, Toni, Andi and Jordi) in Western Australia 😊 And Merry Christmas!!

[@thehappypear]

Ah amazing stuff Toni! Delighted to hear they enjoyed it, and nice idea with the cupcakes!! 👍👍

[@vegalien6056]

BRILLIANT idea! Thanks.

[@pp23ish]

Toni Flanny how long did they take do you remember? Assume less than 50 mins?

[@madelaineraye]

Words cannot express how hungry this video made me. Thanks for promoting veganism guys!

[@thehappypear]

Haha we know something that should satisfy that hunger... it begins with "ch" and ends in "ocolate cake"!! 😋😋

[@aerialkat]

Making this right now for my Mom’s birthday! Looking forward to tasting it. The batter was delicious as you said. Thanks for the recipe. It is the first cake I’ve ever made! :)

[@petercurrin8413]

Obviously with the surname Currin which started out as O' Currin my ancestors are from your beautiful country you wonderful , beautiful examples of Ireland's finest. Pete from the equally beautiful Western Cape South Africa here. Love you guys and your zest for life. It's so inspiring ...and with all you've both been blessed with I imagine the daily chore will be to stay humble. Big big love and Christmas festive season greetings to you and yours. Go Ireland!!!!!

[@thehappypear]

Woooooo best cake everrrrr!!!!!! 😄😋🙌

[@monicarossi5359]

Definitely the best cake ever!!! Must be delicious!!! 😊 Thanks for sharing!! Hello from Argentina!!! 😉

[@Arbear64]

I made this two days ago just the way you did in this video. After tasting this cake I think you should rename it to heavens cake because after one taste you world swear you have died and went to heaven. I am a cake person myself, I love cake of any kind but this cake is like none other. However the sad part about this cake is I am only going to limit to holidays so I want weight 500lbs by next week. Whoever came up with this cake needs a award for being the most brilliant person on earth.

[@migleosborne4740]

omg this really does look divine, xxxx thanks guys, you are amazing. xxxxx

[@nachovalenti]

Looks really nice. Next weekend I will try to make the same cake.🤞Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@DanInMUC]

I've watched this video so many times that I've learnt the recipe by heart. I'm making this cake tomorrow for a birthday party, fingers crossed X

[@thehappypear]

Wow you're incredible!!! Happy cooking! 😄👍🙌

[@angelagallagher8136]

Wow, looks delish, I'm making this and eating it all... Yum yum 😍😋

[@belindam1486]

I'm going to make this for my twins 4th birthday next week it looks amaaaaaazing! thank you

[@norrishclan]

I couldn't resist, went out to get the ingredients, trying to source maple syrup in bulk next time ;) cake is in the oven now, will change the frosting a bit, and make it with cacao powder & maple syrup....hmmmm can't wait when it's ready, kitchen smells divine. Thank you guys!!!

[@PottedJewels]

Made this cake last Saturday,for my vegan friend! She loved it,and all others non vegans loved it too.And all asked for recipe. :) Agree about room temperature,it went in fridge for night,and was very hard.But no mater,it was really tasty.Thanks for it!

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're absolutely fabulous!!! It's 100% a favourite with absolutely everyone! 😄😋🙌

[@tanjabrauer6391]

Just made this cake and it is so delicious!!!!

[@heidisigler164]

[@vale128]

You guys are incredible 💜

[@janecollins7427]

Looks amazing

[@adrianaiordan3675]

i will try it !!

[@greenboulderer2911]

hi guys looks epic and bad ass as you say but also if I'm not wrong damn expensive. surely the amount of coconut oil and Maple syrup alone is nearly €/£ 20. how about coming up with a cheaper version for us mere mortals. Peace n love p.

[@Churros1616]

a cake that unhealthy, you should not too often anyway, so the one or two times a year you do make it. Splurge.

[@franky2720]

Vegan butter and agave nectar would probs work

[@paddylogan13]

stefanos2691 if the ingredients cost €20 then €60? Who on earth would pay that. In early choked when they said 500ml of maple syrup.

[@mathies187]

Use this: Regular flour instead of almond flour Vegetable oil instead of coconut oil Agave nectar or just plain sugar instead of maple syrup Leave out vanilla extract (wont taste significantly like it anyway) Voilá, we just quartered your costs for the cake.

[@teenindustry]

mathies187 you can also use golden syrup

[@TefnutLight]

Amazing guys!!! Thank you

[@migleosborne4740]

by the way, I'm in Australia, I have told my friends all about you guys, one of them owns a cafe, and she will be using some of your ideas in there for us all to enjoy. thankyou. xxx

[@casimiralexander]

Casimir, Began in Brooklyn NY USA. Love you two. Will make this cake.

[@kingbuream218hh8]

OMG thanks a million love from all of us a big hugs and kisses from Sara xxx

[@samiraadams6980]

Can I use almond flour for all ? ty and really looove your videos.

[@denebcastillo8191]

Amazing cake!! yummm yummy!! I love you guys

[@user-ud8mt6fj1m]

Love maple syrup! And all your recipes!! - a proud Canadian from Toronto :)

[@SM91]

Yep. Just found my next birthday cake.

[@neldahinojosa3022]

Love those baking dishes!

[@thehappypear]

Cheers Nelda! Glad you enjoy 😄

[@lamariafranciska]

Hi. Loved the recipe and simple video. Do you think i can change the almond flour for oatmeal flour?? Is just that where I live, almonds are very expansive.

[@elishevagasner9041]

this looks awesome!

[@thehappypear]

Wooo it IS awesome!! 👍👍😀

[@gizemkilinc6562]

[@MzSexyT2009]

looks good

[@plantchanges9186]

Thanks for the shoutout. The kids loved it after watching this morning with me, their Dad (so you know I am a bloke)

[@NanaNana-gt3mr]

Just made this last night (just changed the filling to peanut butter frosting) and it was AMAZING!! Best thing I've made, so luxurious! A little tip for anyone making this, though, is to serve at room temperature, so it's smoothe and delicious, because serving cold will make the coconut oil way too hard and dense. Thanks for the recipe, guys!

[@thehappypear]

Ah wow you're just FAB!!!!! We must try the peanut butter, sounds EPIC!!!!!! 😄😋🙌

[@NanaNana-gt3mr]

The Happy Pear It was! Everyone who've tried it has absolutely adored it! Your recipe is such a success 👌👌.

[@jillian2414]

I’m definitely making this cake 😍👌💕

[@gerlindehalmer9465]

Hey Guys, epic massive cake! Thx for the great video. How long does it last in the fridge and can you freeze it? Cheers

[@staceynolan8577]

Made this before... a show stopper I didn't use the frosting and it was still delicious. I'm making it This weekend for my vegan Aunt

[@buckfast69]

I made this today as a birthday cake for my sister's birthday tomorrow. The chocolate icing was probably the hardest bit to get right, I melted it, put it in the fridge it went solid, took it out put it over heat and it went back to full liquid. It took me some time to get it just right. I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow.

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're fantastic Ciaran!!! Hope you and your sister enjoyed!!! 😄😋🙌

[@buckfast69]

thanks lads, the cake was a great success, it got lots of complements.

[@OrenjiOrange]

What gluten-free flour can be substituted for the spelt flour?

[@the.danceeditor]

They seem pretty exited about the cake😏💗

[@RoxCagla]

Cake looks amazing, can't wait to bake 😋 But, I have a question, would it work just the same if I use only regular flour? Thanks 😊

[@MrsCallala]

hahahaha you guys had chocolate everywhere! Thank you so much for such a realistic and cute chocolate cake tutorial! Maybe if you would whip the frosting coming from the fridge it would be easier to spread and fluffier? Love your videos!

[@sophiegahan4110]

Hi, my local healthfood store sells coconut whipping cream. Would it be ok to use this instead of the coconut milk fat? i.e would it affect the taste greatly? I'm also presuming it wouldn't need the added vanilla extract and syrup.

[@CosmeticGirl15]

I love how the guy on the left is so into licking the bowl he just forgets he's on camera and carries on 😂 but I don't blame him that cake looks incredible 😍 first video of yours I've seen and I'm subscribing!

[@christinam935]

Wow! Made this cake, and the whole family loooved it. *I used Golden Syrup because there was no maple available and it tasted great too, for those who may be in the same situation ;)

[@thehappypear]

Brilliant Christina, you're fab!! 💚😄😍

[@Jojo-kl6tx]

Thanks for the idea, I think I will use golden syrup too, since we already have that at home.:)

[@ladykleopatra88]

hello!!one question please.....is ok if i use coconutfat instead of coconutoil?

[@itslifeitsme]

hello I live in the Caribbean. coconut oil remains liquid. will the frosting melt as well

[@PinkSmiiley]

I'm gonna make this cake for the christmas family dinner tomorrow ! Can't wait to see some impressed faces aha ! ;)

[@benturnerofficial1]

Hey guys, I think my springforms are a bit smaller, will that make a big difference?? Thanks for the awesome recipes as always, Merry Christmas!

[@stephaniedion]

Maple syrup is life!! Thanks for the shout out :)

[@tiago110593]

mouthwatering

[@lenakrupinski6303]

Been looking for a vegan recipe for a Birthday Cake that's not full of sugar. I like the fact it's got maple syrup rather than sugar & not lots of icing sugar like most vegan or non vegan birthday cakes!! 💜🌹💜

[@mushroomburrito]

can I ask if the frosting will melt if I don't eat the cake right away or wanna bring it to a party since it's made of coconut oil ? :)

[@bluetigerdaisy402]

My mum told me about you, as I am vegan and my dad love you and your recipes. I am planning on trying some of these recipes. Thanks.

[@thehappypear]

Ah ye're brill Laura! Happy cooking! 😄👍🙌

[@zachsaffordable3426]

just made this cake! Its the bomb.

[@thehappypear]

Good on ya Zach, glad you enjoyed!! 😄👌🙌

[@adrianaiordan3675]

looks epic!!😀😀😀

[@goldfish8365]

Is it possible to use another kind of oil, like seed oil, for the batter of the cake?

[@dreama8168]

i just baked the cake but unfortunately it is too sweet for my taste buds even though i put 30 ml less maple syrup. What can I do next time to fix this issue?

[@rayanamoatemri3289]

hello guys!! can I replace maple sirop by honey ? any suggestions to replace mapple sirop because it is not available where I live. Thank you !

[@Rofloresc]

That looks amazing! Definitely it will be on my xmas party this year! Cheers from Mexico City!

[@thehappypear]

Woooo nice one Rodrigo! 👍👍

[@tracymay6034]

I noticed the recipe on your website does not include the spelt flour. Did you change the recipe or is that a mistake? Recipe looks amazing! Thanks!

[@nathalieBr]

Hey guys, does any of your books include this recipe? Thanks & Merry Christmas! ☺

[@lenakrupinski6303]

Hi Happy pear, 💚 🌿💚 I finally made this it tastes Amazing, I had a few problems as I'm gluten free so it was more crumbly and very fragile being that there was no gluten but I managed to get it together and it looked good !! I made a chocolate Gnash with 250 ml of soya cream & 200 grams choclate added tablespoon coconut oil for shiny smooth finish. Thanks great recipe.🍀🌿🍀

[@Mythtrekker610]

The chocolate frosting can be done with Coconut Oil, Cocoa Powder, pinch of salt and Maple Syrup... Nothing else and it is lovely.

[@thehappypear]

Great idea Richard! We'll def try that next time! 😄😄

[@DameHoracia]

woooo hoooo for choccy cake. Thanks lads xxxx

[@kristine5203]

Haha, so cute how your faces and clothes were full of chocolate after baking. This cake looks amazing! :O

[@klarasol]

I love how you taste everything because same

[@ilianalawrence8286]

where do you get your maple syrup?

[@lbradly9271]

Hi guys, can I use sunflower oil instead of coconut oil in this recipe? I tried it with the coconut oil, but the cake turned out to be super hard after refrigerating..
