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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
