Ingredients to make Crinkle Cake
- Phyllo Sheets (Defrosted): These are like thin pastry sheets that add a wonderful crunch to the cake.
- Melted Salt-Free Butter: Butter gives a rich and buttery flavor to the cake without the extra salt.
- Plain Yogurt: Creamy yogurt adds moisture and a hint of tanginess to the cake.
- Ricotta or Curd Cheese: Creamy cheese that brings a delightful richness to the cake.
- Eggs: Eggs help bind everything together and give structure to the cake.
- Demerara Sugar: Sweet sugar for that perfect sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla adds a lovely flavor to the cake.
- Double Cream (To Serve): Cream to make the cake even more indulgent.
Substitutions
- Phyllo Sheets: If you can’t find phyllo sheets, you could swap them for puff pastry or even croissant dough for a different twist.
- Butter: For a healthier option, you can use unsalted butter or a dairy-free alternative like margarine.
- Plain Yogurt: If you’re out of plain yogurt, Greek yogurt works perfectly or even a dairy-free yogurt if you prefer.
- Ricotta or Curd Cheese: Exchange ricotta with cottage cheese for a similar creamy texture, or go dairy-free with almond or tofu-based alternatives.
- Eggs: To make it egg-free, try using mashed bananas or applesauce for binding.
- Demerara Sugar: Light brown sugar is a great substitute, and honey or maple syrup can add a unique sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: Almond extract or even a pinch of cinnamon can bring a different flavor twist.
- Double Cream: Swap it with whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free choice or Greek yogurt for a tangy note.
These substitutions will help you adapt the Crinkle Cake to your preferences or ingredient availability while still enjoying a scrumptious treat.
