Glad you liked it. I have been diagnosed with a dairy allergy so we aren’t eating the cream cheese frosting any more either. I like it a lot with coconut cream!

My husband made it for my birthday yesterday. We loved it. He used a dairy free paleo frosting recipe. The sugar needs to be powdered for a nongranular texture. I’ll make it again without frosting, perhaps served with whipped coconut cream or applesauce. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment.

By sugar-free do you mean sweetened with fruit or other natural sugars instead of maple syrup? If so, then you might try something that has a similar consistency and moisture content. Cooked blue berries would probably work well. You’d want to cook and mash them so they had a syrupy consistency. Natural applesauce would also probably work, so might pumpkin puree or even butternut squash puree, if you added some water or juice to make the consistency a little closer to syrup.

You cannot just leave the syrup out with this recipe, however, without making a substitute with similar moisture content. One cup of syrup does add a lot of moisture and coconut flour needs moisture. If you use powdered Stevia (Now Better Stevia was recently tested and has 0 mg. oxalate!) you could also add 1 -2 teaspoon of that and make up the moisture difference with more eggs or one of the suggestions above.

Hope this helps! Let us know if it works out. I love this cake with the maple syrup but I’d also love to find a healthier version!

Would using cooked apple or blueberries work perhaps? Is it possible to just omit the maple syrup and bake as normal?

Any help is much appreciated! :)
