Looking forward to trying this! You mention vanilla in the method for the pastry cream, but it’s not listed in the ingredients. Are you using a vanilla pod, essence or paste? Thanks!

Hello! So sorry about that. You can use 1/2 a vanilla pod scarped and in with the milk, or 1 tsp of vanilla essence. Apologies - I'm sorry about that! Thank you so much for letting me know.

Hello,

I’m trying to pre-order the pink copy of the book, but when use the link, it takes me to the yellow book ordering page. Thoughts?

I’m noticing “errors” or inconsistencies in recipes on a regular basis. In this one today there is melted butter poured over the crumble??? I understand typos but….

Thanks

hey Linda, that's my bad! I'm really sorry - In my book, which I adapted the method from, I used a melted butter poured over the dries method. For this, I use a different tactic because of the oats. Thank you so much for flagging, It has been updated!

This cake looks amazing! Would substituting the rye flour with more plain flour instead be ok?

Forgive me if I am completely missing it, but I see cinnamon listed in the cake ingredients but do not see when it should be added in the recipe instructions. I assumed it was with the flours and raising agent.

SO EXCITED for Sift in North America btw. I pre-ordered it back in April and I have been impatiently counting down the days. <3

Congratulations! Sift is absolutely stunning, I can't wait to have a copy for myself. Good luck with the launch and please let us know how we can support you!!

Will the yellow version come out with the updated typos and errors as well?

Is it a complete crime if I add pecans I need to get rid of? Looks amazing regardless 🫶🏻

On the pastry crème at the end add butter but I don’t see this in the list of ingredients. Am I missing something?

After a long period of not buying any cookbooks, I’m really excited to finally get my hands on Sift!! I’ll be trying this recipe this week in anticipation of it.

Do you think adding a layer of apple butter along with the custard and apples would work or impact the cake in any way? I have some I need to use!
