![]() ![]() ![]() Why water? It helps to thin out the coconut milk. ![]() When I call for coconut milk I mean the full-fat, unsweetened canned coconut milk, not any sort of “coconut beverage” that you would drink (which would have additives). It can be savory, sweet, cooked or not, and it’s a lovely dairy substitute in so many recipes. Coconut Milk (and Water)Ĭoconut milk never ceases to amaze me with how versatile it is. If you want a more subtle spice flavor, cut back on the spices a bit. If there are certain spices in this recipe that you don’t like, simply leave them out. This cake is not shy when it comes to the spices. Given that the sugar makes up a good deal of the dry ingredients, I also would not attempt to replace it with a liquid sweetener as it will throw off the dry-liquid ratio. I have never tried sugar replacers or substitutes in this recipe and cannot vouch for how they would work. Everyone needs a treat now and then, right? If you’re looking for a healthier option, I would venture to guess that coconut sugar would be an excellent substitute (1:1) though I have not tried it myself yet. I know, this recipe has a lot of sugar in it. This is only if your flour blend does not already include it. If you cannot find a flour blend that includes xanthan gum, you can add xanthan gum independently into your dry ingredients: Add 1/4 tsp xanthan gum per 1 cup of gluten free flour blend. I prefer King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour Blend, but I’ve also had success with Namaste Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend (I buy it at Costco), and Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, although that last one is my least favorite as I feel it gives a grainier texture than the others.Īll of these blends include xanthan gum, which is key to the structure of your cake. The flour blend called for in this recipe needs to be a measure-for-measure or cup-for-cup substitute for regular flour. It doesn’t have gluten, dairy, or eggs…so what IS in it? Gluten Free Flour Blend Vanilla – Pure vanilla or vanilla extract work equally well here.What’s in a gluten, dairy, and egg free spice cake anyway?.Almond milk – Or other dairy-free milk of choice.If you are allergic to dairy, feel free to use a softened vegan butter like Miyokos. Many who are dairy intolerant find this a swap that works well for them. ![]()
