Wheatless Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Wheatless coffee cake; photo: cehwiedel

Last night’s dinner ended with a newly tweaked recipe for dessert: sour cream coffee cake based on a recipe on page 24 of Yankee Magazine’s Favorite New England Recipes.

The original recipe uses wheat flour, of course.

I replaced the wheat flour with half rice flour and half oat flour, added 1/4 tsp of guar gum and left out the raisins called for in the filling because nobody else in the family likes raisins. (Silly people.)

The result is quite edible:

1/2 C corn oil margarine
1 C sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla, divided
1 C low-fat plain yogurt
1 C rice flour
1 C oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp guar gum

1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C chopped pecans
2 tsp cinnamon

1. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and guar gum.

2. Cream the margarine and the sugar until smooth.

3 Add the eggs one at a time, each with a teaspoon of vanilla. Beat until completely mixed for each egg.

4. Add the yogurt and beat until smooth.

5. Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.

6. In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chopped pecans and cinnamon.

7. Spoon half of the batter into a well-greased tube or bundt pan. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Spoon the remaining batter on top of the filling, then sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture on top.

8. Bake at 325°F. for 45-55 min, until top is golden and a testing straw comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes on a cooling rack before inverting onto a serving platter.

Note: I use a hand mixer for all beating and creaming.
