Annalise Roberts' Coconut Cake

Okay, so I screwed up the frosting (I forgot to do the math and put 4 ounces of coconut milk in instead of 1/4 cup, and then had to add extra sugar to firm things up and then it was too sweet), but the CAKE was AMAZING. I think it was the best cake I've ever made, and I like to bake cakes!

I couldn't FIND the superfine brown rice flour, so I used half Bob'sMill brown rice flour and half Authentic Foods superfine white rice flour, and it wasn't the least bit gritty. It was moist and delicious.

I also tried a trick passed on by a friend's auntie: I spread a very thin layer of melted raspberry jam on each layer before frosting it.

YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM

I am hooked.

Somebody posted Annalise Roberts' email address earlier on another thread, but I couldn't find it? Could someone please post it again? Thanks! I need to thank her for saving my son's birthday and blame her for all the pounds I'm gonna gain! ;)

Way to go, Fiddle-Faddle! That is one great cookbook. I still haven't made the coconut cake, but it sure sounds fabulous! And the jam sounds like a delicious addition.

:rolleyes: I haven't tried the cake yet but I will. You can get the superfine brown rice flour from Authentic Foods website. They provide good service. Buy some sweet rice flour too. It's also hard to find.

I don't know what the policy of this board is. I have belonged to several cooking sites, and their policy is that ingredients lists are not copyrightable, but instructions are. What they required was for someone to put the instructions in their own words, and hopefully this would also encourage the writer to add what they had learned from making the recipe anyway.

Her recipes are copyrighted. I suggest using amazon .com search feature to check out the book or just go buy it. You won't be disapointed.

I definately think this is the 1 book everyone should invest in. I've tried several recipes from it and they are all incredible gluten-free baked goods and breads.

I think the book was only like $15, and Annalise is such a wonderful person and worked so hard on making these recipes as incredible as they are I feel like posting the recipe is like taking money away from her.

Sorry. Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel guilty posting it.

Fiddle-Faddle: Glad the cake turned out so good!! Told ya! I think Jess and I should become her PR reps. We certainly rave about her recipes enough. :)

If you have an Asian grocery nearby you can get sweet rice flour & many others at great bargain prices.

Yes - what Jillian said :P

I know if I put the time and $ into a book, I wouldn't want all the good stuff leaked out! No reason for people to buy it then (gee, sounds like the whole Napster debate...)

Okay--I emailed her asking for her permission to post the recipe. I'll post her answer as soon as it comes! In the meantime, I think everyone should get the book! If her coconut cake is typical of the rest of the recipes, we should never need to buy overpriced, underflavored, dried-out baked goods EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just think--the cookbook costs about as much as 2 Kinnikinnick loaves of bread. :blink:

I agree that she has worked hard to create these recipes and we can show our appreciation by purchasing the cookbook and I also think that if the recipe was posted here for the coconut cake and we loved it then for sure we would buy the book.

Thank you for saying this. I feel the same way. She is sooo kind and has worked very very hard to make these wonderful recipes. Like it has been said, putting a book out isn't exactly cheap. She has done a wonderful job at it!!

The book is WELL worth the $15. If you would like to view a recipe, go to amazon .com and use the "search inside the book" feature. This feature allows you to view pages within the book. Try out a recipe and I'm sure you will be hooked.

Actually, that only works if you have already purchased something through Amazon (I tried, and it wouldn't let me).

By reading the post I assumed Annalise Roberts was a poster here since I have never heard of her before. That's why I was wondering where the recipe was.

I looked her up on Open Original Shared Link and went inside the book but it doesn't show any recipies- just the Table Of Contents, pictures, What Are You Hungry For?, Gluten Reality, and Getting Started.

Sorry, there have been so many recent posts about her new cookbook, I just assumed (wrongly) that everyone knew that she was a cookbook author. :)

Thanks guys!!!! I was afraid it would come off as b$tchy that I didn't think it was right for someone to post the recipe. I'm glad everyone seems to agree.

Oh and as Fiddle-Faddle said; I have tried several of the other recipes and they are all incredible!! My non-celiac sister even told me the other day that everything I have made from this book is just as good or better than any gluten filled treats. To be honest that is the reaction I have gotten from everyone that has tried the baked goods. If you didn't tell people it was gluten-free, there is absolutely no way someone would know.

I should also mention, these recipes are really pretty easy. Before this I had never made any baked good or bread from scratch and I anything I have made from this book has been a huge success.

Can you tell me if all her flour blends are rice? I have to sub everything with sorghum and would rather not fork out another $15 on a cookbook that won't work for us. Maybe I can email her? I agree on not posting the recipe here, though, without her permission. I posted a recipe once (and gave credit) and then the next week it was on this site's newsletter w/one change and no credit given to site I listed. I do PM recipes, though and have received them from others. Maybe I'll have to check and see if my library carries it yet~

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
