looking to make the plant-powered blueberry dream cake but find yourself missing an ingredient or two? fear not! this versatile recipe lends itself well to substitutions, although i must confess i haven’t personally tried any!!
here are some ideas to help you tailor this delightful vegan treat to your pantry:
flour alternatives: if you’re out of all-purpose unbleached organic flour, feel free to experiment with alternatives like whole wheat flour, spelt flour, or a gluten-free flour blend.
keep in mind that different flours WILL affect the texture, so adjust accordingly.

sweeteners: while organic raw cane sugar adds a distinct flavor, you can try substitutes such as coconut sugar or a sugar substitute like lakanto.
each sweetener brings its unique taste, so choose based on your preference.
dairy-free yogurt: the creamy dairy-free plain yogurt can be replaced with almond yogurt, coconut yogurt, or soy yogurt.
it is important to note that i used creamy coconut yogurt for the cake, so if yours is on the watery side, that will affect the texture!
oil options: if avocado oil isn’t in your kitchen, experiment with other neutral oils like coconut oil, just ensure the oil you choose is in liquid form.
non-dairy milk: any plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, can replace the dairy-free milk in the recipe. choose based on your taste preference and dietary needs.
blueberry alternatives: while the recipe calls for fresh blueberries, you can try using frozen blueberries if fresh ones are unavailable.
remember to coat them in flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
flavor variations: get creative with the flavor profile by adding a touch of cinnamon, lemon zest, or almond extract to the batter.
these subtle additions can elevate the overall taste without straying too far from the original recipe.

Can you use GF flour?
