INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
COCONUT FLOUR:
- We utilize coconut flour because it provides structure and a naturally sweet coconut flavor.
EGGS:
- We use eggs because they create the cake’s light, fluffy, and airy texture.
POWDERED KETO SWEETENER:
- We utilize powdered keto sweetener to add sweetness without sugar. As a substitute, you can use powdered allulose, monk fruit sweetener, or powdered xylitol.
BUTTER:
- Unsalted butter provides richness and keeps the cake moist.
COCONUT MILK:
- We use unsweetened coconut milk to create a soft and moist cake. As an alternative, you can use unsweetened almond milk, macadamia milk, or diluted heavy cream.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract enhances the overall sweetness and flavor of the cake. Instead, you can use almond extract, sugar-free maple extract, or coconut extract.
COCONUT EXTRACT:
- We utilize coconut extract to intensify the coconut flavor. You can substitute it with extra vanilla extract or simply omit it.
XANTHAN GUM:
- We use xanthan gum to improve the cake’s texture and reduce crumbling. Instead, you can use guar gum or omit it for a softer crumb.
CREAM OF TARTAR:
- The whipped egg whites are stabilized and their volume is preserved by the cream of tartar. As an alternative, you can use fresh lemon juice or white vinegar.
COCONUT:
- To improve the coconut flavor & include texture, we utilize shredded coconut. You may choose to use unsweetened coconut flakes or leave them out.
