Can this recipe be successful with the substitution of Almond or Cashew Milk for Coconut Milk?
Car, I haven’t tried the recipe with that substitution, but I imagine it would be fine! Plant milks are usually pretty interchangeable when it comes to baking. If you try it let us know how it goes. 🙂
Can you update the recipe/method using metric units? Thanks.

This recipe didn’t work at all 🙁 It didn’t rise, was bland, and was not sweet at all!!
