I made this dairy free! I melted 100g of vegan butter and added 45g olive oil, put a few drops of white vinegar into cashew milk to make the buttermilk, and used plain coconut yogurt. I also cut the white sugar by 20g and added 1/4-1/2c of shredded coconut. I mixed the wet ingredients together before adding to the dry, though that defeats the “one bowl”ness of it, and I don’t have a 9×12 so I used my 9×13.

It came out great! Moist and not too sweet. I don’t really like strawberries but I bet it’d be good with blueberries, or really most fruits. I used yellow masa harina and I look forward to trying out the other types and other toppings!

Hi Angelica! Yes, totally okay to omit the strawberries in this recipe. You can also swap in any other fruit you’d like as a topping. Let us know how they turn out.

Hi, is it okay to omit the strawberries for a simpler corn cake? Family member allergic to strawberries and I was thinking of having strawberry compote on the side.

Hi Lily! We haven’t tested this recipe with ricotta, but it might work! Ricotta is a bit thicker, and masa tends to be pretty thirsty — so you may need to add a little extra liquid. If you give it a try, please report back — we’d love to hear how it turns out!

Hello,

Do you think the yogurt can be replaced with ricotta cheese?
