Press the OVEN setting to preheat the Panasonic 3-In-1 Steam Oven to 350 degrees. Spritz an 8 x 8 inch square cake pan with vegetable oil. Cut a piece of parchment paper to size and place into the pan.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix on low speed to combine.

Add the eggs, coconut milk, vegetable oil and pure vanilla extract and mix until combined, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, using an offset spatula to level the batter.

Place into oven and bake for 20-22 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake and inspect it to make sure it comes out clean with only moist crumbs.

Let cake cool completely on wire rack before frosting.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, salt and pink gel food colouring on low speed to combine.

Once combined, beat the buttercream on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until frosting has doubled in volume.

Using an offset spatula, frost the cake with a layer of buttercream, smoothing as you go. You can use a cake bench scraper if you wish.

Fill the piping bag with the remaining buttercream. Pipe the entire cake with fur.

With clean and dry hands, make the white fondant muzzle by rolling out fondant to about 1/4 inch thickness. Punch out a circle shape using a large circle cookie cutter or rim of a cup. Gently pull the shape into an oval muzzle and set aside onto parchment paper.

Roll out a small amount of pink fondant and use the opening of a clean piping tip to punch out little circle shapes for the cheeks. Set aside. Pull off a 1/2 inch piece of pink fondant and mix with 1/2 inch piece of white fondant, creating a lighter pink shade. Using the original pink, form bear ears using your hands. Add “inner ears” using the light pink fondant, using a tiny amount of water to adhere the inner ear to the pink ear. Insert wooden skewers into each ear and set aside.

Roll out the black fondant and use the opening of a larger clean piping tip or a small circle cookie cutter to punch out two large circles for the eyes. Set aside.

Pinch a tiny piece of black fondant into a small oval for the nose.

Place the facial pieces onto top of the cake to make the bear face.

Insert the ears into the top of the cake!
