Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the eggs in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce. For each egg, use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, or 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. This will keep the texture moist.
How should I store the cake after baking it?
Allow the cake to cool completely, then store it 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 slices wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil for up to 3 months.
What can I do if my cake doesn't rise properly?
If your cake doesn't rise, it might be due to expired baking powder or not mixing the ingredients thoroughly. Always check the expiration date on your baking powder and ensure it's fresh. Additionally, make sure to evenly distribute the baking powder with the flour before adding wet ingredients.
