This was soooo good, Melanie! Thank you. Could I substitute coconut extract for more coconut flavor?
Glad you liked it! You can add 1/2 tsp of coconut extract without changing the rest of the recipe.
Made this with liquid stevia instead of the maple syrup to make it keto. Yum!
Really loved this! Super simple and delicious, and as Christina, I made mine Keto too. I replaced the maple syrup with 1 tbsp of monk fruit/erythritol blend. So good with butter on top. Thank you!
Could I substitute the egg with a gelatin egg?
It would probably work, but I haven’t tried it. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out!
I tried with flax egg and it was delicious!!!!!
Wow, this is so soft, fluffy, and naturally sweet! The cake turned out wonderfully, thanks for sharing such a convenient recipe!
