Brazilian-Style chocolate glazed carrot cake

Karmen M. (Q&A ID 13710)

Hi, just listened to the recent podcast that featured what sounds like an amazing Brazilian Carrot Cake. On your site, there are a few comments/questions that ask about subbing Greek yogurt or sour cream for the coconut cream. Can you offer guidance here perhaps? Thanks so much!

Does anyone know how often these questions are read by MS?

Hi Karmen -

We think you could probably sub an equal amount of greek yogurt for the coconut cream, but it, obviously, won't have the same flavor profile as the cake was intended. Since there are many brands of sour cream that are a lot thinner than greek yogurt or coconut cream, we probably wouldn't recommend that substitution.
