In reply to Roxana. Hi Roxana, I used a smaller cake pan, that might be the reason. The 18cm one is wide and that might be the reason why the cake didn't rise as in the video. The glass pans I used are square, 15cm side and 5cm high.Thank you! ciao, B

Hello! I made this cake recipe but I am unsure if the batter was supposed to rise at all or not. For me it didn’t really rise. I used a 18 cm diameter pan, it seems barely 5 cm tall. What size were your pans or is there a way to make the cake rise more? Thank you!

In reply to Shahaja. Hi Shahaja, you can substitute with a 1:1 ratio. Just consider that with whole wheat the cake will be a bit more dense than using regular all-purpose flour. To fix it I would add a bit more liquid, raise the coconut milk quantity to 1 cup. That should work! Happy baking :-) Ciao, b

Hi, thank you for the wonderful recipe.. I’m planning to do this with whole meal flour instead of all purpose flour. Should I take any precautions in that case?

In reply to Sailaja. Hi!! if you want to keep the purple color I would suggest to use sweet potatoes with one teaspoon of beet puree, or as many teaspoons as you need to get the desired level of pink. OR...instead of beets you can use a raspberry puree to color the frosting. Happy Happy Birthday to your little one and take tons of pictures!!! they are priceless memories!! ciao, b

In reply to Kunal. What about using regular potatoes and adding a tiny piece of boiled or steamed red beet? Beets give an amazing natural color that varies from pink to deep purple pending how much you use and are easier to find than Japanese sweet potatoes. I would suggest adding a bit of beets at the time to reach the desired color. That being said, regular potatoes are not as sweet as the purple ones, so I would add some vanilla powder or extract to the mix too to give a delicate sweet background to the frosting. Let me know how it goes!! ciao, b
