-If you don't have any of
my baking mix on hand, you could try substituting
THM Baking Blend.
-Different brands of glucomannan can vary in strength, so if you notice an odd texture in the cake, try decreasing the amount a bit. I use Konjac Foods brand, which you can find from
Netrition or
Amazon.
-The sweetness was good for me since the cream cheese and chocolate chips balance things out, but feel free to add more sweetener. You could also mix some sweetener into the cream cheese before adding it to the cake, but I didn't feel like creating an extra step.
-The microwave in my new house (now that I'm married) doesn't always cook things evenly, so if parts of my muffin overbake I top it with a splash of half and half and a sprinkle of extra sweetener. This is a great way to fix it up if it gets dry or isn't sweet enough for your tastes.
-One of my readers (Debbie) suggested using a spoonful of peanut butter in place of the cream cheese! I think that's a great idea!
