To think ALL coconut flour recipes are disgusting?

[BravoHopeful]

I'm hoping you're all going to shout me down with detailed recipes of delicious coconut flour cakes, biscuits and buns.

But I doubt it. I have tried LOADS of recipes and they all end up either dry or disgusting, usually both.

I still have one packet of the stuff left. Willing to try one last time if you think IABU ...

OMG! Suelleker!!

The blueberry muffins were bloody lovely! I used sugar instead of the whatsit substitute, and chocolate chips instead of the blueberries (Ocado lost the blueberries en route) and added 2 tablespoons of milk to make up for the lack of blueberry moisture.

They were fab. All 3 kids loved them (rare). And they DIDN'T TASTE OF COCONUT!

Seriously going to buy more coconut flour for this alone. I am going to try the hopper next, I think.

Trust me. Stick 9 eggs in to a cake recipe, and you are heading for the texture of a fresh damp bath sponge.

Probably a lovely treat if you aren't allowed to eat standard cake, or for some reason are unable to eat gluten free flour.
If you are simply trying out coconut flour, then ditch all cake nonsense (I'm going to try out raw choc -coconut - date bites) and use it as something to make textured paint for the kids this summer, or a post gardening hand scrub.

Well, I make cakes semi professionally and competitively, (stealth boast but useful for context) and the 9 egg cakes were divine, I'm not even gluten free and I AM fussy when it comes to cake.

Quantities are all above Bravo

8oz marg or butter (I use stork)
8oz sugar (granulated is fine but some prefer caster for baking)
9eggs, whisked
About 3dsp warm water with cocoa powder mixed in to make a paste, make sure the mixture is a decent mid brown colour, if too pale add more.
2.5oz coconut flour folded in.

Bake at about 170 until done.

They were lovely and I'll happily make them again. They were beautifully light but chewy and textured. Not really a coconut flavour that people would recognise but a twang of something

I can just imagine the carb content of one of those. You'd be better off just eating 100g of sugar. URGH.

Missed the part about "them" being the first cupcake receipe - it's too early for me.
