Millet is a classic ingredient that I aim to incorporate more often. It offers a pleasant, rich texture and a neutral flavor, making it ideal as a side dish or in desserts. In fact, substituting flour with millet in cakes not only makes them gluten-free but also maintains their rich texture. So, why not try it out?
This Tropical Cake Recipe is an excellent example of using millet to make a delicious and rich cake. I hope you give it a try!
