Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 6 inch round baking dish with parchment paper.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients (sifted) and whisk until smooth (see video).
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the frosting - mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate overnight to harden.
To frost, place one layer of the cooled cake on serving platter. Top with half of the cream and smooth out to the edges. Top with the other cake layer and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Add another coat when chilled.
Place remaining cream in piping bag with star tip and decorate as you wish. Sprinkle with some carob powder (optional).
Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
