Almond Flour Frosted Dream FAQs: Answers to Your Baking Conundrums!

Q: My cake turned out dry. What went wrong?

A: Overmixing the batter can lead to a dry cake. Be sure to mix just until combined.
Not enough moisture can also be the culprit. Make sure your ingredients are all at room temperature and use the specified amount of liquid.

Q: My cake didn’t rise properly. What can I do?

A: Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh and active.
Double-check your measurements and avoid adding too much almond flour, as it can be dense.

Q: How can I get a perfectly level cake?

A: Use a level pan and tap it gently on the counter before putting it in the oven to release any air bubbles.
Baking strips can also help to prevent the cake from doming in the center.

Q: My frosting is too runny. How can I thicken it up?

A: Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for a few minutes before spreading it.
You can also add a little more powdered sweetener or a tablespoon of cream cheese.

Q: Can I freeze this cake?

A: Absolutely! Wrap the unfrosted cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before frosting.
