Cookie Cake Ingredients
Like chocolate chip cookies, the same basic ingredients are needed. In order to create a gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and nut-free cookie cake, some simple swaps do the trick.
Here are the major ingredients you will need:
- Cassava flour
- Tapioca starch
- Vegan butter
- Unsweetened soy milk (or almond milk if not nut-free)
- Coconut sugar (omit and replace if allergic)
- Organic cane sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Almond extract (omit and replace for nut-free)
- Dairy-free chocolate chips
What kind of pan is best for baking a homemade cookie cake? A 9-inch springform pan will yield the best results. It can be tricky to remove the cake from a traditional cake pan without it breaking.
