I didn’t see a link for the vanilla powder on YouTube. Can you share a link to that?

Did you ever find out what vanilla powder she used? I just watched this and couldn’t find it either. I did see some on amazon, but wasn’t sure if one was better than another.

Looks so good! Can I make a request for red velvet cake or cupcakes using beet powder for coloring? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing….very yumm…also could you show how you.let the silicone mould cool on tack and take the cake out…
Because when i cool in the mould the moisture in the cake tends to make it soggy or when i try taking it out of the mould immediately the cake kinds of sticks to the mould and breaks.

How would this recipe be without coconut in the icing? If it is just for flavoring, I would think it would be ok.

I just made the lemon cake and let me say I LOVE it! It has a touch of sweetness. Enough to curb the sweet cakey craving I have been having lately. I didn’t have a silicone pan so I layered parchment paper in a metal brownie pan. The cashew cream was very thick. I’m not sure what I did wrong but I used it more like a thick frosting on top. My daughter tried a slice and she gave it a 5 star! Thank you!

What’s the difference between 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
and the 1/4 cup coconut listed in the ingredients? What form of coconut are these? Thanks.

It is the same coconut. Thank you for letting me know, I will make sure I correct that
