Note

For the frosting, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Spread over cooled cake.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the flour with almond meal.

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.

Carob chips can be substituted with chocolate chips if desired, though the flavor profile will change slightly.
