I made this again and LOVED it! Simple and fool proof recipe. I added a little icing to suit my taste.

I’d say you could use thickened cream in place of the yoghurt if you so wished or whipped cream maybe as well. 
Good luck, sounds yummo to me. :) I’ll be trying it out for sure and have saved it down to my hard drive for future reference

this was good, but it took about an hour for it to cook!

It tastes good, but mine was nowhere near done in 25 minutes.

I really did not like the almond extract AT ALL. It was gross and ruined the entire thing. :( Next time I’ll just use vanilla extract.

I’m not sure how this tastes, but just FYI, it takes WAY longer than the 25 minutes stated to bake.  I’ve had it in the oven for 35 minutes so far and it’s still very very runny.  I’ll check it in another 10 or so.

Also, you can use kefir as a sub for yogurt (that’s what I did).

We just made this for our daughter’s birthday breakfast.  It was delicious!  I had to bake it in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes and it was still a bit runny.  I also added a little bit of cardamom to the cake.  This was definitely the best received dish with coconut flour I’ve ever made for my family.  We’ll be making this again for sure.

This looks wonderful. I will substitute Tofutti cream cheese and use coconut oil too. Will report the results. Looks so easy!

what could I use as a sub for the yoghurt?

This was delicious! I made a few changes: I used about a cup of freshly ground white whole wheat flour instead of the coconut flour (I don’t have any of that), I used coconut oil instead of butter, added about 1/2 tsp of baking powder and used a few more nuts (I didn’t measure them). It was a hit with the whole family.

How much stevia would you use in place of the sweetener?

Coconut Mama January 20, 2011 at 11:10 pm - Reply

This was amazingly good! I used stevia in place of all the sugar/syrup. It was a tasty treat :)

This is my kind of cake! I am going to try it asap. Also Huntington Beach use to be my weekend playground, when I was a teen.
