Made From Scratch Valentine’s Day Cake Ingredients

Coconut sugar – is a natural sweetener I like to use in my baked goods. Just be mindful this sugar will turn your batter brown.

Sea salt – enhances the flavor of other ingredients.

Milk – I always prefer to use whole milk, but feel free to swap for an alternative like coconut milk.

Unsalted butter – when choosing butter, try to opt for unsalted, pasture raised butter for highest quality.

Eggs – pasture raised eggs are the best, highest quality eggs to purchase.
