Oh how delightfully delish! Sounds and looks enticingly exotic We love spicy, we’ll have to try your harissa recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Certainly! It's from the Saveur website, the recipe is here. The only adjustments I've made are to use my personal favorite butter crust recipe instead of the one listed, and I don't pre-bake it. It's very sweet and eggy, and makes a great breakfast if you have leftovers.

Any chance you want to share that pie recipe? Looks so good.

No, not trying to cut out dairy. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re going to cut out dairy, you may as well just try a non-cake recipe that doesn’t use dairy at all, like a pie or something — although the coconut milk suggestion is intriguing; I’ve never baked with coconut milk. But maybe I’ll try getting some sour cream just for the recipe. Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Hmm. Sour cream gives such a good flavor and texture here that it might be worth buying just for the recipe, but you could definitely try substituting buttermilk or yogurt. If you’re avoiding dairy altogether, it might work to just leave it out but without doing some research I’m not sure what effect that would have on the cake – you’d probably want to cut down the baking soda, at least, since you wouldn’t have the acid from the sour cream. Or you could try coconut milk, which also wouldn’t be acidic but might be tasty.
