- Why is the cake dry?
- Coconut flour absorbs a huge amount of liquid. If it feels dry, add another egg or more liquid next time.
Coconut flour cake
Coconut flour is not simply ground coconut, but a by-product of coconut milk production that is dried and ground. It has extremely high fibre content and absorbency (like a sponge), so it behaves very differently from wheat flour. This cake has a denser, moister texture and is naturally gluten-free.
