I find the coconut palm sugar gives this a nice, slightly caramel flavor. The cake is moister than regular angel food cake but with similar texture. It also doesn’t rise quite as high .. about 3/4 as high as the regular angel food cake.

1/3 ccoconut flour
-
7 1/3 Tbsparrowroot (this is 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons)
