2. Using an electric mixer, beat the Nuttelex, Natvia, sugar, vanilla bean paste, and cocoa until smooth.

3. Add the egg and beat on a low speed until combined.

4. Add the flour and milk in small amount, alternating and beating until combined.

5. Spoon mixture into 6 patty pan cases, bake for 12 - 15 until they bounce back when pressed and a skewer comes out dry.

6. Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes in the pan and then cool on a rack.

7. Beat together all of the frosting ingredients, adding enough icing sugar mixture to make the mixture firm. Add colouring as desired.

8. Serve with love!

Enjoy!
