FAQ:
Can I use a different type of flour? Yes! If you're not a fan of almond flour, you can substitute it with other gluten-free flours like oat flour, rice flour, or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just make sure to adjust the liquid content as needed.
Is this cake suitable for vegans? To make this cake vegan, simply replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and use maple syrup instead of honey.
Can I make this cake ahead of time? Absolutely! This cake can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for several days and actually becomes more flavorful after resting for a day.
Can I use canned sweet potato instead of fresh? Yes, canned sweet potato works well, but ensure that it’s plain and not mixed with added sugars or spices. Drain any excess liquid before mashing.
Is this cake suitable for people with food allergies? This cake is gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free (if you use a non-nut flour). However, be sure to check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they are safe for anyone with food allergies.
