An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl tapioca in a coffee

grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information on making or buying tapioca

flour)

Refer to the "Cake Notes" at the front of this chapter for information about making cakes

including the methods that can be used to make a cake more "decadent" and other

(

methods to make a cake lower in fat)

This is not a particularly lowfat cake due to the use of poppy seeds

CAKE

ounces coconut milk (or water)

/ cup water

/ cups millet flour (or spelt flour)

tablespoons tapioca flour

/ teaspoon sea salt

GARNISH

servings Lime Icing

tablespoon baking powder (double acting)

(

see recipe in the "Orange Icing" recipe)

cup poppy seeds

(this is another recipe in this cookbook)

tablespoons poppy seeds

/ cup walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoons applesauce unsweetened

/ cups maple syrup

tablespoons coconut shreds toasted

teaspoon lime zest in long thin strips

(from half a lime)

tablespoon vanilla extract

lime slices

tablespoon lime extract

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C) Oil and flour two inch round spring form pans (it is also

possible to use one inch by inch pan) For more information about pans and about the use of parchment

paper for extremely easy cake turn out refer to the Cake Pan/Parchment Paper discussion in the "Cake Notes" at the

beginning of this chapter

CAKE

Sift dry ingredients (except poppy seeds) together and then mix in poppy seeds Combine liquids then stir into

the flour mixture Pour into the prepared cake pans

Bake for minutes (longer if using one inch by inch pan) Test to be sure the cakes are finished: the cakes

should slightly pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out fairly

clean (not wet with batter clinging to it) Also be careful not to overbake the cakes because they can become too

dry and dense in this case

GARNISH

When making a layered cake (using identical sized pans) after the cakes have cooled place the bottom layer of

the cake on a serving plate (with parchment paper under the edges) and spread the icing/frosting over the top of

this first layer Then place the second layer on top of the first and frost/ice the entire cake

Garnish cake with poppy seeds and coconut shreds around the edges and citrus zest and fresh thinly sliced whole

lime pieces on top
