Is the Nunatural the powder or the liquid? I would like to try the recipe. It looks great! Thanks for posting it!
I made this for my daughter’s 6th birthday, and my son asked if I would make another for his 5th birthday! This recipe ROCKS! Love the glaze idea, yum!
Hey Marily! The Nunatruals is a powder and you can get it at most health food stores or off amazon! Thanks for the comment!
Does the coconut flour taste like coconut? No one in my family likes even a hint of a taste of coconut. So could we use almond flour instead? And almond milk?
Coconut flour acts very differently from almond flour in recipes, so I don’t think that would work well. I don’t think it tastes like coconut personally, but I LOVE coconut so I might not be the best person to ask 🙂
This looks wonderful. I’m so happy to see the recipe lined out like this and a photo. I’m kindof ‘strange’ about recipes. I want to see them before I make them, that way I know what its suppose to look like. Yours looks so good. I will definitely make this cake for my diabetic mom for her birthday. I have read the recipe in the book a couple of times, but haven’t wanted to try it until now. Thank you!
[…] Special Occasion Cake (omit cocoa powder for a vanilla version) […]
This looks great. Today is day 2 thm for me. My family is not doing thm. My little boy is turning 3 saturday. He wants a chocolate cake. I am planning on making this. I am nervous. I don’t have nunaturals hopefully I can get it. What does it do? Also should I make it a day ahead of time or same day? Ok one last question. I don’t have a reputable source of eggs. There is a place down the road I can get some. Are the eggs in the frosting ok to eat raw? Thanks a million!
Did you get a response to the raw egg question?
So what size cake pan will this recipe make..8 in, 10in rounds?
I was wondering what the conversion is for the sweetner if you use the THM sweet blend or THM stevia? Thanks
I have same question about the raw eggs in the frosting… would it be OK to serve to a 3 yr old?
Hi Ashley! I’ve never heard of anyone having an issue with this recipe and the raw eggs but you’ve gotta go with your mama gut instinct. I used to make a raw egg yolk pudding and never had issues with it.
