- Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment. Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
- Tip the coconut oil, agave and molasses into a saucepan, set over a low heat and gently warm to melt, stirring. Set aside to cool a little. Meanwhile sift the almonds, coconut flour, bicarb, spices and pinch salt into a large bowl.
- Whisk the coconut milk, egg yolks and vanilla into the pan of cooled syrup, then pour the contents of the pan into the dry ingredients and stir well. In a clean bowl with clean beaters, whisk up the egg whites to peaks. Beat ⅓ of the egg whites into the cake mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 mins, until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the caramel sauce measure the coconut sugar and 50ml water into a pan and heat until bubbling. Cook for 2-3 mins then add coconut milk and vanilaa. Turn down the heat and simmer for 15 mins stirring until thickened, being careful not to let it burn. Leave to cool and thicken a little more then drizzle over the cooled cake.
