Hi. This looks great. Is the corn flour the fine white powdery type or the yellow type that’s like a finer polenta? Sometimes it’s tricky with the different international names for things 🙂
Hi Natasha, thanks for you comment. The flour I use is the yellow fine one and that makes the whole difference when making this cake. I hope you like it! Cheers 🙂
Well, this just looks amazing. Nothing better than a simple cake that bursts flavor. Cannot wait to try!
Thx for sharing. xx Bianca
How much is a cup?
Hi Sean, the cup I use has 236.64ml. Does that help? Another suggestion is that you use one mug as your cup measurement and all the rest (half cup, quarter) comes from that. Let me know if you have any other question. Cheers 🙂
Thanks for the reply …. so if 1/8 cup is required I divide 236.64ml by 8 = 29.58ml yeah?
Yes Sean, that should work. 🙂
Hey there, I just found the recipe yesterday and was wondering whether you are using full fat coconut milk or the light version in case you are seeing my comment 😉
Hi Charlotte, thanks for the comment. I use full fat coconut milk in the recipe. Let me know how it turns out!! 🙂
Hi Vanessa, I made the cake today and it absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe that I will make again for sure. Only comment: I had to increase baking time to roughly 45 mins before the cake was done.
My mum and I both look forward to having some more cake tomorrow 🙂
I know this was a while back, but can this cake be frozen?
Hi Tina, thank you for your comment. Yes you can freeze a cake on the day that it’s made. To defrost it leave it in the fridge overnight. I hope that helps. Cheers
