Notes
Always chill your coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, being sure not to shake or tip the can to encourage separation of the cream and liquid.

Hi, this cake looks amazing🥰 can I substitute the teff flour as I don’t know what it is lol thanks
Hi! You could try using millet or quinoa flour, they have similar nutritional profile so it might work. Hope that helps!
This sounds delicious. Do you need to blend/grind up the chia seeds? Also, what canni used instead of the rice and teff flour? All purpose? Or chickpea or spelt? Other? Or just leave out and add more alkond floir and rolles oats?
Thank you.
Thank you! Yes, ground chia seeds, I updated the recipe. If you are not following a gluten-free diet maybe you could try using regular flour instead or try all-purpose gluten-free flour (I love Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1). I have never baked with spelt flour because it’s not gluten-free so I am really not sure about that.
