This looks great! I was wondering though what could I replace the potato starch with? Hi there if I wanted to leave out the alcohol would I need to replace this with something else or just omit ?
It is soooo good. I have successfully made it with both canola oil and extra virgin olive oil but any vegetable oil should work fine. You will love this vegan coffee cake, with kahlua frosting – let’s not forget that super nb part! :). It’s:FudgyFluffyRichChocolatyNaturally sweetEasy to make& DELICIOUS!
Thanks so much for sharing, Kirstin! I literally just took my first bite and had to tell you how satisfied I am, this recipe is delicious! I agree – the fluff factor is real :D. I’m not the most precise baker, and I’m often too lazy to go to the shop to get specific ingredients that I don’t have.
But yes, we’d say 1-1 and adjust from there until it looks like the photos. such a great post!
The look is decadent and the taste is magnificent! My son is allergic to nuts… but it just looks amazing so I might need to try regardless! But we recommend frosting with. Thanks for the help. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.
Creamy, caffeinated, and perfectly sweet.
My non GF/vegan brother was skeptical but he loved it and said it tastes like regular cake. Looked like the correct consistency.
We’re so glad it turned out well! Each one is about 1” high once baked. The batter is going to be pretty thick and sticky and that’s what you’re looking for. I still want it to be gluten free but it has been impossible for me to find potato starch anywhere…. Not sure how it may have changed the taste, but my cake was not faulted at all because of it. But we think beetroot powder might make it too bitter.
Perhaps! I made the flour from scratch as well and everything came out perfect! Yay! I used more applesauce in place of the bananas just because that was on hand. Do you think it would work to make it, freeze it, and then defrost for Christmas morning? We have so much vegan cake deliciousness going on at this blog, you are so in the right place if cakes are your thing! Thanks so much for the lovely review, Wakami!
Can tapioca starch be used in place of potato starch? Made with vanilla bean coconut ice cream, cocoa powder, and strong brewed coffee.
Scan the comments for some other substitution ideas! The steps are fairly simple and when all is said and done, the whole cake comes together and is cooling on the counter in about 30 minutes time. ★☆ Can you please tell me how many servings this makes and can it be cooked in 1 dish (and any changes needed if it can). xo. Lightly coat 3 – 3 1/2″ tart pans or an 8″ x 4″ baking dish and set aside.
Hi Tara, we haven’t tried it with oat flour, but it looks like another reader did so with success. I was thinking of using the raw almonds I have (not blanched) and making them as fine as possible in a food processor…….. Just curious!
The butter should be dispersed throughout with big chunks, little chunks, and some leftover granules.
In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
I may add extra chocolate chips next time just for fun. Dessert.
★☆. I have made this twice for my kids birthdays and it’s been a huge hit. Make it paleo by swapping peanuts with almonds! I think espresso instead of kahlua would work great in the frosting.
Yeah that should work! typically 1/2 to 1 tsp per cup of GF flour. We’re so glad it turned out well!
