Comments on: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Banana Kahlua Coconut Cake Recipe http://glutenfreeeasily.com/banana-kahlua-coconut-cake/ Living gluten free easily by eating real food and a few gf processed foods Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:31:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Shirley http://glutenfreeeasily.com/banana-kahlua-coconut-cake/comment-page-1/#comment-8727 Shirley Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:00:29 +0000 http://glutenfreeeasily.com/?p=1373#comment-8727 Hi kathie--You know you are making me <strong>very happy</strong> by sharing your <strong>gfe</strong> baking successes, don't you? ;-) IMHO, there's no such thing as too many ripe or overripe bananas. Usually my freezer is full of bananas that have passed their prime for eating, but would be perfect for an upcoming recipe. Sadly, I've been making so many smoothies that my freezer is completely empty of bananas at the moment. :-( Hey, tweaking is a good thing. Make the recipe work for you according to tastes and/or what you have on hand. I love the sound of Pina Colada cake! Maybe a darker rum would impart more flavor. It really doesn't matter if you use another liquor ... the main goal was to make the cake dairy free. Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'll try a dark or stronger rum next time and make your Pina Colada cake. ;-) Shirley Hi kathie–You know you are making me very happy by sharing your gfe baking successes, don’t you? ;-) IMHO, there’s no such thing as too many ripe or overripe bananas.

I made this and the molasses banana bread in the same week. I did "tweak" it a bit. I don't usually have Kahlua in the house. So I substituted Rum for the Kahlua. I called it a Pina Colada cake (rum, bananas and coconut). The rum did not add much to the flavor. It is very yummy though. I must have had too many ripe (maybe over ripe) bananas in the house.

Testing the recipes at all different phases would definitely require a lot of testing. I made a recipe tonight I didn't even get to taste, so I am asking the recipients for a report back. It's a new creation, so I am hoping it will be blog worthy. :-) Shirley Ali–That’s an excellent comment about all that goes into cookbook development.

I do have some help with the little ones though! But I still need to try my creations hot out of the oven, cooled, and then also the next day to see if anything has changed (usually the texture). It gets to be quite a lot of taste testing some weeks!! -Ali :) Oh yes, much of my creations get given away. I do have some help with the little ones though!

Too good is right. LOL But, I can't even imagine the food temptations when developing a cookbook! With a <em>failed</em> recipe though, not so much. LOL However, I bet you have very few if any of those. ;-) Usually even failed recipes can turn into something wonderful. Like the pumpkin bars, I forgot to add the sugar to (I know ... clearly, I was not thinking ... I thought they looked a little flat!) . . . They will be reincarnated as a pumpkin crust soon. Just need to crush and add a little brown sugar and olive oil I think. Maybe you need some type of group to feed!? Hubby just came home last from handbell choir practice to tell me they had full attendance, so he promised them some of my treats next week. LOL Maybe I'll try something new on them. That's the ideal solution---I get one test bite and then out the door the goodies go. :-) I am sure your four little ones help a lot with eating all your test runs though. Shirley Hi, Ali!–Thanks!

I am glad I don't live near you otherwise I'd end up wanting a slice or 2 or 3 and I don't need any more baked goods! I have plenty around these days with this cookbook project! -Ali :) Wow Shirley this cake sounds too good.
