Of course because of the Sucanat this cake is really more brown than yellow. But it is very Tasty and somewhat similar to a yellow cake! I tried it to use for Trifle but I'm sure I will use it for other things too! It was a super Simple cake that I think will be very versatile!
Yellow Type Cake
4 cups flour whole wheat flour (I used hard white wheat)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 cups Sucanat
1/2 cup water
1 cup rice or almond milk
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients. In another bowl, mix all wet except oil and stir well. Mix the wet and dry together. Add oil, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix well. This recipe will seem a little thicker then regular cake batter that's okay! Just spread into a lightly oiled large cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until done.
So I made this for my little man's bday and it turned out grainy...kinda like a sandbox really LOL. The taste was good but the rough texture was ummmm strange. Is it the sucanat that does this or did I totally mess something up?!
ReplyDeleteBreezy: Hummm grainy huh? I can see it being heavier then regular cake because of the whole wheat flour. What kind of wheat did you use? Was it the hard WHITE wheat?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed sometimes that sucanat will have big grains and not disolve very well. You could blend it in you blender a little before adding it to a recipe so it is not so course. Or just make sure to mix it in well with the wet ingredients so it disolves better. Hope that helps. When I have made it we have not noticed that it is grainy crumbly kind of but not grainy.
