If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here

All your low-carb cakes look delicious! I recently started to make some almond flour and coconut flour low-carb cakes and I will have to try making your recipes--they all look good!
I made a peach loaf yesterday with almond flour and was a bit disappointed it did not rise very high even though the recipes called for a mix of baking powder and soda. I live at a high elevation of 6,200 feet(1889.76 meters) so that may have been one of the reasons

Ginger Cake is my favorite.
There's something about ginger that feels cleansing that takes you out of your regular food routine.

My grandmother made me carrot cake with cream cheese frosting every year on my birthday. That brought back wonderful memories, Jan.
