Disclaimer: In fairness, I made a significant modification because bulk arrowroot flour is hard to come by locally, so I substituted King Arthur multi-purpose GF flour (brown rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch).
Had high hopes for these as I made them for my daughter’s 1st birthday. They tasted and looked (identical to the picture) very good but had a very hard “shell” and were on the dry side. I’m guessing this was likely due to the mod mentioned above.
Yes, it was due to your modifications. We have other great cupcake recipes on this site, and our donut recipe also can be made into cupcakes, but if you cannot have almond flour then it wont work for you. We do have cupcake recipes using coconut flour though. I’m sorry these didn’t turn out for you, but subbing a gluten free flour blend one for one on this recipe is not advised.
I hope this works for me. so hard to find a recipe with almond flour or coconut flour in it.. Intolerant to both. Glad you made this will be trying it out tonight!! if it works out for me i can use it and tweak it for different treats as well đŸ™‚ glad i stumbled across your site! will be ordering your book as well!
leah
Hope it worked out!
I questioned my sanity prior to trying this recipe. I’ve NEVER seen arrowroot flour used as a main & only flour in a recipe ever, but I decided to try it anyways, & see what would happen (while every ounce of logic was screaming at me not to waste all my expensive ingredients). Folks, this did exactly what I thought it would. My “cake” was a flat, rubbery, gelatinous joke! You could throw this thing like a rubber ball. 100% not edible. Ridiculous, horrible, sick joke of a recipe. Yes, I’m livid. Mostly at myself for being dumb enough to attempt this recipe. I will not look any further at anymore recipes on this blog. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
