I'm wondering what type of
almond flour you used
as different brands can affect the
moisture content of my recipes.
But
as I expected, the
almond meal separated from the other ingredients (I have had this happen in other recipes — it does NOT substitute for
flour, since it does not absorb
moisture in the same way) and created a jelly - like layer at the bottom of the cake (think «moist crust»).
Just beware that if you're going to use coconut
flour for baking, it absolutely NEEDS to be mixed with other
flours as it sucks up
moisture like crazy... I've made delicious baked goods by mixing coconut
flour with
almond flour and quinoa
flour in equal parts, and adding slightly more liquid ingredients than the recipe calls for.
Many blogs use coconut
flour as a bulking
flour, but I tend to use it more
as a drying agent to help to draw
moisture out of
almond flour or other ingredients.
Almond flour is ground nuts, full of fat and
moisture, entirely without gluten and not nearly
as powdery, fine and dry
as wheat
flour.
