I had to use pecans instead of pistachios and maple syrup instead of honey because I am on a fodmap diet. I am on day 3 of the cake, and it is holding up quite well. But once the sugar syrup soaks into the cake, it’s not sweet enough for me. Could it be the maple syrup rather than the honey? I have a terrible sweet tooth. Thank you for a lovely recipe.

Hello,

This cake was delicious. Make sure to cut your lemon/orange (I made meyer lemon cake) slices very thin. Try using parchment paper to line your tin as it keeps the cake from sticking and it comes out effortlessly. I used Pepitas instead of Pistachios as I burned my pistachios. Make sure your convection feature is turned off as it will keep the middle from rising and cooking evenly. Time consuming but worth it. Looks like a professional made it. Thank you for the recipe. I very much appreciate a good gluten free cake.

In reply to Cindy. Hello! The consistency will be different with AP GF flour, but it's totally doable and will be tasty. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the exact measurement you should use. All GF AP flours act differently. But you can give it a try and adjust to perfection as you learn.

I cannot use almond flour. Can I replace the almond flour with GF AP flour?

In reply to Beyza Ozgoren. Hello! You will have a very different texture if you use normal flour. Since all GF AP flours have unique results, you may need to give it a try and adjust the amount of dry ingredients slightly based on what you discover. But it's definitely worth a try.

In reply to Christina. Hello and correct! The syrup on the bottom of the pan will keep the cake from sticking!

This looks amazing! Just to be clear, no need to grease the pan or line with parchment paper?

In reply to Christine. Hi! Thanks for asking. You would need to adjust the liquid since the honey will bring more wet texture than cane sugar. We haven't tried it and no doubt the flavor would be different, but I'm betting it would be tasty!
