Turned out lovely! I made a lemon glaze to place on top using 1 C powered sugar, 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream , 1 Tbsp lemon juice & 1 tsp lemon extract. It was so nice to eat a tasty cake again!
Thanks for sharing your results and tips! So glad this recipe worked out!
I do not care for coconut but does the flour taste like coconut Loy
Yes, it does have a coconut flavor.
Man oh manishevitz this I wanna bake, but I’m allergic to almond flour. Any substitute ideas?
Hi Ted,
If you are only allergic to almonds you could use hazelnut flour instead, but if you have a nut allergy you could try cassava flour too. Good luck!
