coffee cake

I am not sure why this is called a coffee cake when there is no coffee in it, although it goes really well with a cup of coffee in the morning.

1/4 cup of oil
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups gluten free flour regular flour for non gluten free

1 1/2 tsp zanthan gum exclude for non gluten free

1 cup sugar, again I used stevia
2 tsp baking powder

In a mixing bowl mix all wet ingredients until well blended then add your dry ingredients and mix together till smooth.
spray a 9 inch pan and put your batter into the pan

1/2 cup brown sugar, I used brown sugar in the raw
2 tbs gluten free flour
2 tsp cinnamon
3 tbs melted butter
In a small bowl mix all the ingredients together to form the streusel topping. Mix until well blended. And top your batter with it. Place in a 375 degree oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

cakes

well I have began to play with fondant. I have made two cakes this way. I am hoping to get up the recipes for the fondant and butter creme I used. I also need to get some pics up loaded as well. What say you. Is this something you would like to learn how to do? I must warn you it was frustrating and time consuming so don't let your expectations for the first cake be to high. I am by no means a professional at this yet, with only two attempts under my belt. It was fun and challenging, it made a huge mess, but the end result was worth it. More to come on this very soon. I hope by the end of the week.
