What can I replace applesauce with? I don't have access to it

Hey Marta! We haven't tried, although perhaps you could use equal amount of mashed banana. Let us know if you test it out 🤗

This was very delicious! The mocha and walnut complement each other very well.

I don't like the taste of coffee. Can I substitute the coffee by anything else?

Everyone loved it, it was so delicious that my family ask me to do it again bc it was so yummy

Do you use real coffee powder or instant coffee powder? Thanks :)

Hi Johanna! Espresso powder is a bit different from coffee powder and instant coffee. It’s finely ground, super concentrated, and has a deeper, richer flavour. That said, feel free to experiment with coffee powder or instant coffee if you’d like, it should still work 🫶✨

Dear PUL Team, I also have a follow-up question on this comment: if using instant coffee granules, would you recommend grinding them (for example with a spice grinder) to obtain a sort of similar consistency as espresso powder or is it fine to just use them as they are? Thank you! :)

Hi Martina! You can use the instant coffee granules as they are, but grinding them into a finer consistency could help them dissolve more evenly and blend better into the batter and frosting 🤗

Delicious! I made this into a pecan cake instead as we all prefer pecans over walnuts as a family. It was incredible! I’d love to remake it with the intended walnuts some day.

Incredible flavour! The coffee-taste is not too strong, it tastes like soft caramelly mocha. I had too little frosting or I had piped it on too thickly, as I managed to cover 3/4ths of the cake. It was delicious and simple to make nevertheless.

We're so happy you loved it, Devon! Thanks for sharing your experience with the loaf 🤗
