NOTE

The sponge will not rise much, how it goes in the oven is how it comes out of the oven.

Depending on your brand of coconut flour, your mixture can be crumbly before it goes in the oven. 

If so…. just keep adding water until it comes together. Add about 1/2 cup at a time and them stir until you have the right consistency.  This is why we prefer banana flour now!
