Thanks - it's was a winner at DHs work, they couldn't believe what it was made out of.

So I realised I actually have tapioca starch (from a recipe I have yet to make that I was supposed to make months ago).....is that the same thing as Tapioca flour?

Love your photo by the way and the presentation.

From what I read they are the same thing.

kmw, that is great! So encouraging to hear Your cake looks awesome. Did you end up using the beetroot or did you ditch it?

Yes Tasty, tapioca flour and starch are the same thing.... but potato starch vs flour are different. Also corn starch vs flour is named differently between USA and UK/Aust. I use pure 100% corn starch - white - rather than wheaten starch or maize flour, which is a yellow colour, and not starchy.

It all gets a bit confusing. lol.

Thanks I was pleased it worked out & that I didn't burn the bottom 😄

I ended up using beetroot & also forgot to say cacao powder. Tomorrow making again with topping for the family birthday dinner we are having.

Awesome cake.  Thanks for all the info.  How amazing that you could replace eggs with chia seeds!

Cake was a hit yesterday & the icing was also great.  We iced the cake straight away and then put it in the fridge.  I would use this icing for any cake I loved the taste. Thanks again for the recipe.
