Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. However, be sure to check that the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with the cake's structure.

How should I store leftovers of this cake?

Store the leftover coconut and yogurt cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.

My cake didn't rise properly; what could have gone wrong?

There are a few reasons your cake may not have risen: make sure your baking powder is fresh, avoid overmixing the batter as it can develop too much gluten, and ensure your oven was preheated properly. Additionally, check that you used the correct sizes for ingredients, especially eggs.
