  1. Do you know if this recipe has been tried without tigernut flour? If so, what adjustments were made to the recipe? I was hoping to see if anyone had tried this in the comments, but it looks like those are private. There isn’t a store to buy it from in my area, and I am hoping to make it tomorrow or I would just get it on Amazon. 🙂

    Thanks,

  2. This looks really yummy and I’m curious to try tigernuts. I do not use a microwave. Do you know what the baking time and heat setting would be in the oven?

  3. I just tried this with subbing almond flour for tigernut and it did not work out great. the texture was much “rougher” than pictured. I also found the cake a little bland even though I added nutmeg, cloves, and a hint of ginger but I do think the texture issue could be a factor! If you try subbing almond flour maybe try reducing it.

  4. While we found the flavor favorable, the texture was something like wet sand or dry peanut butter. Yes it was moist. But it was uncomfortable to eat and swallow. At 3 minutes in microwave it was still batter-like. At 5 min, it was moist, yet sticky or chewy.

    Wondering how else to fix texture.

  5. FYI – I used a ripe banana instead of pumpkin, Dutch any sweetener and it was delicious and had a great texture! Def recommend as an alternative.

  6. I made this, it was good! I subbed casava flour for the tigernut so needed to double the coconut milk. I cooked for five minutes. I will make it again! I also made one for my little girl and added dairy free chocolate chips to hers, she liked it as well! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

  7. I made this. Pretty dry for gluten free & I like more sweet so add more honey maybe. Coconut flour sucks moisture & i added about 1/2 tbsp more coconut cream but thought it was still dry. Cooked 6 1/2 mminuttes & the bottom was done but top was not. Big coffee mug. Been cooking gf for 7 years now.

  8. I just made this, I keep going over the ingredients and it appears I made it correctly according to your recipe. I did not care for it, it was way too dry and looked nothing like your pictures…honestly, it makes me suspicious that you didn’t post real pics, sorry. Your pics look more like pumpkin pie while the actual recipe looked dry, lumpy and nasty. Did you forget an item on the recipe…like maybe eggs to account for the extreme difference in your pic next to one I made?

    • Thank you for your feedback! If the batter turns out clumpy, it’s essential to add more moisture to the recipe. You can try increasing the amount of wet ingredients like pumpkin puree or oil to achieve a smoother consistency. Remember to mix the batter thoroughly until well combined. I appreciate you trying the recipe and hope these adjustments will lead to a better outcome next time. Happy baking!

  9. This turned out great, and really helped with that sugar craving! (Made the recipe as you wrote it, no subs) Thanks for the easy recipe, looking forward to trying your others.
