Brown Rice Flour Mix:
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup potato starch or corn starch
Put these into a small bowl or a bag and blend thoroughly. You can use your own flour mix if you wish, but this mix is really good.
Ingredients
Measure out 1 1/2 cups of flour mix into a bowl. Then add:
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons guar gum or xanthan gum
Measure out but do not add yet:
2/3 cup milk or milk substitute plus 2 Tablespoons
3 1/2 Tablespoons of oil
Mix dry ingredients well. Be sure all ingredients are evenly blended. Leave this mix now and make the crumb topping. Before baking you will add milk and oil, but just immediately before.
Crumb Topping:
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour mix, or remaining flour from recipe at top of page
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
In a small bowl, add cinnamon and sugar to flour mix and blend well. Add the butter or margarine, and work into the flour by hand until the flour resembles pea size lumps. Add the bread crumbs and work in until they are coated.
Grease an 8 or 9 inch cake pan. Turn on the oven to 425F degrees to preheat.
Return to first bowl and add the oil and the milk. Stir in until the dry ingredients are just all wet. Mixture should be thick but workable. You can add a little more milk if needed to make it into a paste consistency. Avoid overworking the dough, as this should be tender.
Turn dough into the cake pan and pat into place. Let the dough rest in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes. If you turn off the oven and place it inside it will rise well.
After dough has risen, sprinkle topping onto dough and return to the oven. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes.
If topping begins to get too dark, turn oven down to 400 degrees for the remainder of the baking time. I hope you will enjoy this gluten free coffee cake.
