*If you want to make this nut-free you could try a gluten-free flour blend like Bob's Red Mill. I haven't tried it yet, so it's not tested but I think it would work.

**You can find tapioca flour (aka starch) or arrowroot at your local health food store or online. It's always in the baking section. Bob's Red Mill is a good brand.

***You can half the maple syrup and add 1/2 cup water or non-dairy milk in place of the 1/2 cup maple syrup. You need to add that liquid if you reduce the maple syrup otherwise the cake will be too dry.
