Can I replace the whole wheat flour? I have tested this recipe with all-purpose flour with great results and I am pretty positive you would get a delicious cake if you use a GF flour mix. If you end up trying this cake with another type of flour, let me know in the comments below.
I don’t have tigernut flour, what can I replace it with? Simply swap it out with almond flour.
Can I use any other nut butter? Absolutely! Use any nut butter you have on hand. I have tried this recipe with hazelnut butter, pistachio butter and peanut butter and all were delicious. Just make sure your nut butter is natural and somewhat runny.
Can I use any plant based milk? I would say most except canned coconut milk, as it is much more fatty than other milks and might affect the texture of your cake.
