Variations

Looking to make this recipe gluten-free or vegan? Here are some easy variations to suit your dietary needs! 🌱💪

Gluten-Free: 🌾❌ Substitute the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking soda and any other pre-packaged ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Vegan: 🌿💚 Replace the eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg, let sit for a few minutes to thicken). Use vegan butter and opt for a plant-based condensed milk substitute, such as coconut caramel.

With these tweaks, you can enjoy the same deliciousness while catering to specific dietary preferences. 🌟

Faq

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the dough up to 2 days in advance. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

  • Why does the dough need to be frozen?

    Freezing the dough makes it easier to grate and helps create the right texture for the cake.

  • Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?

    Of course! Feel free to fold in some finely chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the dough for extra texture and flavor.

  • How can I store leftovers?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, place in the freezer for up to 1 month.

  • Can I use a food processor for grating the dough?

    Yes, a food processor with a grating attachment can save you time and effort. Just make sure the dough is well-frozen before processing.

  • Is there a dairy-free alternative for the cream?

    Definitely! You can use coconut cream mixed with a sweetener of your choice as a substitute for the caramelized condensed milk and butter.
