@@LowKeyTable I messed up BAD! I don’t know how but I must have had a mind glitch… because I put 3 cups of flour in accidentally! I make nut bread often and THAT RECIPE calls for 3 cups…so, like clockwork, I put in 3 x stoooopid 🤪 CUPS of flour!!!! 😬 It tasted great once you got through the gritty dryness of a crumbly…!!!!!!!! Oh well…lesson learned. I won’t be doing that again! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🌼✨🌻✨🤗✨🌟 Have a fantastic day! p.s…. I’m so excited to tell you that my health has improved through the roof ☝️🤭 I’m so happy for mine and my family’s future…💖

Look at what YOU 🫵🏻 have done… yep… we’re making it again!!! That’s three times within two weeks! The second cake went so fast, we did leave a piece for my hubby (just) and when he finally ate it… Sooooo now we HAVE TO bake another! He rarely eats sweets… mainly ice cream! 🎉Congratulations 🥂🎊👍🏻💫☕️

@@LowKeyTable omg… it was better than perfection! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! We took photos of it and there’s only enough left for all four of us to have a little slice each! My daughter ate almost half of it alone! 😬🤭 This will be a weekly cake in our home. We even discussed entering this moist and deliciously textured Carrot Cake 🎂 in the Town Fair this Summer! I’m thinking 🤔 it will be more popular than the standard cake! Seriously delicious…I’m hoping that more viewers stumble across your channel as I did… and try this amazing recipe! Joy to the tastebuds and so healthy! 🤗🇦🇺✌️💯

Can i replace desiccated coconut to coconut flour

[@Yuna-bs1xo]

Can i replace the maple syrup with something else, like dates cream? :) Thank you!

[@LowKeyTable]

I don’t know what the dates create is but I think you can use any sweetener of your choice :)

[@preetipandey4595]

I am allergic to almonds. Have you tried this recipe with any other gluten free flour?

Unfortunately no…

[@ameenahkh7412]

can I replace these • ½ cup desiccated coconut • 1 cup almond flour with normal flour ?

[@LowKeyTable]

We’re gluten free so we haven’t tested with normal flour… the dedicated coconut absorbs the moisture, and the almond flour creates fluffiness. All-purpose flour might work but the texture will be different.
