Coffee Cake With Spicy Topping

This looks like a good recipe; however, can't for the life of me see how the topping could be spicy.

What makes it spicy? Did they leave out an ingredient or do they just mean you can really taste the cinnamon?

It looks like the cinnamon is it. I bet you could add some more spices though like a tad of cloves, ginger and possibly nutmeg.

Actually it sounds rather good...as if I need those calories! :P

Yes, I know :) Actually, it appealed to me because it's smaller than the other coffeecake recipes I've found. I'm the only one who ever eats my gluten-free desserts around here and I'm bad to keep after something, if you know what I mean.

The only possibility is cinnamon. The recipe name is quite misleading! I've made Spicy Chili Chocolate Brownies and Black Pepper Shortbread and they had a wonderful kick but cinnamon is technically not spicy but a warm spice. If you do decide to go the nutmeg route I would recommend buying them whle and grating. SO superior to powdered! They are very cheap, too. Fresh allspice is lovely.

This is a straightforward basic recipe. Hope it turns out well for you! I would personally make a browned butter buttercream with toasted nuts to go on top for some contrast. But then I LOVE buttercream a little too much! :lol:

Is there any way to make buttercream CF? I've heard Earth's Balance is horrible.

I've never tried Earth's Balance but don't want to! :P Do you clarify your butter to skim off the milk solids?

Unfortunately butter is the main reason why buttercream is just so darned good. Whipping the butter just cannot be replicated (although as I said I have not tried EB so who knows??).

Perhaps this would be an ok substitute. The following recipe is Gluten-free Casein-free but does contain EB but only 1/4 cup:

No, I've been scared to try. Knowing people still react to soybean oil even though there's no soy protein in it seems like the same situation as ghee vs. dairy protein, but the soy version. I am dairy intolerant and mildly allergic to dairy too. So, just haven't tried yet for fear being only two months in with no short-term symptoms. Worry that I will love it, use it, yet damaging myself at the same time.

Well, we're in luck :) Burnt butter icing is the only from scratch icing that I can make really well. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great! I think I read that you made some recently. Love it. It would go well with something cinnamon-y. Heck - it would go well with everything except perhaps steamed Brussels sprouts! :P

Hate to say this but this recipe intrigues me more than the previous one. I guess I just like the texture that sour cream adds. This one looks more interesting and substantial. I'm hungry again, darn it!

I have actually made a faux "buttercream" with light olive oil. It gives it the ability to spread easier and the taste is pretty good. To cover one double layer 9" cake I use about 4 tbs of light olive oil, about a cup of confectioner's sugar, a splash of water to ease stirring and give it the right consistancy, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and then you use about a 1/2 c of whatever flavor you are doing (We often use cocoa powder, sometimes peanut butter or both.)

By light, do you just mean extra virgin? I wonder if coconut oil might be nice.

Yes, I thought so, too. I LOVE a LOT of the crumble topping and it looks like this has it on top and in the middle, which I like.

Let me know if you would like my formatted version which I copied and pasted with her notes included on one page.

I have tried it with the extra virgin and it is a bit heavier so I believe that I used a bit less of it. Now I use Extra Light Olive Oil, it says on my bottle that it's good for baking and sauteeing.

I like Earth Balance and they do make a soy-free version. I bought it right after I went gluten-free but found I could tolerate butter well so for me now, butter is it!

The EB organic is wonderful. The soy free version we use now, not as much. It's much less salty to me too, which makes it not as tasty for us. BUT, I am so thankful for it, as it is the only DF and SF butter sub that I know of.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
