Gretchen, do you know how to DM someone? If you do please DM me. Thanks.

[@Metalredhead]

Hi Gretchen! What a wonderful recipe. Is it possible to make a similarly thick and rich vegan caramel sugar-free, using erythritol instead? I'm a diabetic and have limited to no (budget friendly) options. If so, will you please make that recipe and post a video of that?

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

DAAAAAAM Gretchen! OMG! Just when we thought you couldn’t out do yourself girl you went and made this cake! Mmmmm mmmm mmmm! My favorite snack is caramel popcorn and now you went and put it on a cake!! YUM! Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your channel is amazing! It's a life saver for vegan bakers.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Glad you think so! Thank you!

[@TigerGreene]

Gretchen you have outdone yourself yet again. This is a masterpiece. You have such a gift. The joy and creativity you add to the world is priceless, honestly. Whatever money you're making, it's not nearly enough!

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Thank you!! And I definitely agree to it “not being enough” I definitely don’t make a profit and I barely make enough to buy ingredients every month. I call this endeavor, “my expensive hobby” 😭 but I do love the creation process and I’m so happy to share my baking experience & knowledge and especially to know know that everyone loves my recipes & that I can help veganism in some small way ❤️❤️❤️

@@GretchensVeganBakery its not ok, you should have millions of subs and views, have cookbook deals and tons of sponsorship ! You and your channel are real gems! 🙏👍💚

[@cimesq]

Now I must make this caramel!! I would prefer a vanilla cake, but also love chocolate cake. This cake looks amazing!!! WOW! I died and went to heaven watching this!

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Hey thanks! You can totally switch the cake to vanilla! Here is an equally great & easy recipe for vanilla layers www.gretchensveganbakery.com/yellow-cake-recipe/

Whipping the caramel! Genius. Thank you

[@edyann]

You're amazing, my goodness. I truly wish virtual tasting existed...

[@yippeyiyay]

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum. Wow, yum! As usual these cakes and recipes are incredible!

[@mugeasena5079]

Gretchen! You’re the baking goddess! 😱😍

[@VEGGIEIB]

STOP IT NOW! All of that caramel dripping 😏☺️💯

[@easyplease5068]

You're making videos again!!!! YAY!!!!! This is a beaut.

[@brooklyndiva23]

I’m definitely making this cake! I might be the only person who doesn’t like salted caramel so I’ll make one salted and one unsalted and gift it to someone. I need to try the snickers one for sure. They both look amazing, like all of cakes. 🍰🤤

[@davidhensley76]

I don't like the salt, either.

[@VEGGIEIB]

Heck, I'd buy it from ya if you were here in Chicago! 💶💳💵💸💰

[@brooklyndiva23]

@@VEGGIEIB 😆 Your comment made me lol but I would totally have made it for you if we were closer. 🍰 I’ve made so many of Gretchen’s recipes even before they were vegan and I have yet to find one that disappoints. Some just stay in regular rotation because I or my friends/family love them so much.

[@triptripp1873]

i am in heaven. i NEED to make this

[@MultiGemgirl]

that looks delicious. You should buy her book, it you haven't already.

[@naggymikhail2876]

It's really fantastic way you do

Do a vegan Twinkie recipe! 🤤🤤🤤

Gretchen:))) That caramel sauce-Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Jenxoxoxo!

[@shirinf333]

This looks AMAZING!!

[@uteeagles291]

Looks delish 😋 I'm going to make cupcakes and fill the cupcake with some of the caramel and drizzle over the buttercream as well 😉

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Yesssssssss

[@Ptricia_Rose]

Such a good video, caramel looks amazing! Will make this one of these days…:-)

Yum!!!! LOOKS Amazing!!!

[@shaunaburton7136]

Amazing!

[@Kelseyveg]

I am definitely going to make this for my birthday this year!! Love the secret to your vegan caramel!!!

[@lukehenly]

I would be very curious how condensed coconut milk or condensed soymilk might do in a caramel. They are syrupy and gooey already, which is good, but they're also sweet, so I'd imagine the sugar should be slightly reduced in that case. Keep up the phenomenal work, Gretchen! This looks like absolute PERFECTION.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Yes I love the thought process!! very good! But also yes to all of that added sugar. Could be worth a try though you never know!

[@apriljones1381]

You can boil condensed milk in the can to make “dulce de leche” which is basically caramel. I haven’t tried it yet with condensed coconut milk, but I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work.

[@goodcookandherguineapigand5122]

Looks so good.

[@davidhensley76]

Hold the salt & I'm in.

[@brooklyndiva23]

I feel like I’m flooding the comments 🫣but wanted to ask is there enough caramel left over to do the drip once the cake is filled? Would the cake be too sweet? Thank you. I appreciate you so much.🙏🏼

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

I love it! keep flooding the comments lol it really does help the algorithm believe it or not when there’s lots of comments!! 😁 The caramel recipe makes close to 2 cups I put about 3/4 of a cup in the butter cream probably another 3/4 of a cup total between the layers and yes!! there was plenty left over for the drip and the topping As for your question is the cake too sweet? “Sweet” is unique to everyone, some people will say it’s too sweet and some people might say it’s perfect and some people might say it’s not sweet enough lol I think it’s perfect, but 1 slice was enough for me!!

[@brooklyndiva23]

@@GretchensVeganBakery thanks for the quick responses. By sweet, I mean is the caramel sweeter than the toffee or do they both have the same sweetness, just different flavors? I’m eating peanuts at almost midnight thinking about these cakes😅….looks like I’ll be making this cake sooner than later.

[@agooddaytocraft]

That does look absolutely decadent. Does the taste of coconut come through in the caramel?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Not in my opinion I don’t taste at all, however I know some people are coconut sensitive and may find it to taste slightly like coconut

[@agooddaytocraft]

Ok. Thank you!

[@Oonagh72]

Switch the peanut with pecans and you have a turtle cake.

[@brooklyndiva23]

Great idea! 😋

[@brooklyndiva23]

Still watching but do you taste the coconut notes in the caramel?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Not at all! (*at least I don’t, some people ~ are super sensitive to coconut anything though)

[@drelle504]

Have you tried the Silk heavy cream for the caramel? Would you recommend it? If not, I'll stick with canned coconut milk.

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

I haven’t! But I bet it would work ~ but I’m not willing to spend that kinda $$ 1pint is like $5 !! 😵‍💫

[@drelle504]

@@GretchensVeganBakery Ahh! Great point! Coconut it is! Thanks, Gretchen!

[@cindys2995]

Do you have any gluten free recipes? My vegan cakes only work with regular flour 😢

[@dilpillay9795]

Hi, could I make this refined sugar free by using coconut sugar or another alternative?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Hey there, I am working on refined sugar free recipes as well as oil free alternatives to my existing recipes. I have used monkfruit sugar 1:1 with great results, but I find that coconut sugar leaves my cakes dry. SO when I was using coconut sugar I would use just half and half organic vegan sugar

[@ordinaryitgirl961]

Can you taste coconut flavor in the caramel?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

I do not at all.. but those who are sensitive to coconut may taste it. When I made another version of super thick caramel for my Twix Cheesecake (using creamed coconut) I definitely tasted it then check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LPhqmdZbuFsNE

[@shawnanovasky6512]

Where would one find the old non vegan recipes?

[@GretchensVeganBakery]

Hi Shawna, Since December of 2019 my non vegan blog has shut down. I couldn't keep up the cost to host it on the internet and maintain it monthly anymore Not to mention I was sharing recipes laden with animal ingredients promoting the very industry I loathe This had been conflicting me financially & emotionally for many years, so after 5 years of keeping it free & open to the public I finally decided to shut it down. I do thank you so much for your support and encouragement through the ages, I have stunned NON Vegans with my vegan recipes, perhaps you could try to do the same? If not, I am sure there are tons of great recipes out there for you to use! ~Gretchen
