Directions
Calypso Coffee Cake With Butter Rum Glaze,Enjoy the flavors of the Caribbean in this Plantain-Coconut Streusel Cake with Butter Rum Glaze. This recipe was created for RSC#8, and I know you will enjoy it! To lower the fat content, you can substitute non-fat plain yogurt for the sour cream. Another popular substitution is bananas for the plantains, but if you do that you will definitely have a sweeter cake with a stronger banana flavor.,Oh just WOW. And I took a huge risk and made a few changes to accommodate my wife’s gluten intolerance, making it for the first time.
Instead of 2c wheat flour, used 1.5c white rice flour and .75c cassava flour, also using rice flour in the streusel. Canola cooking spray instead of grease and flour in the pan. An extra quarter cup of sour cream.
Also, I cooked the plantains slightly differently: microwave slices until soft, then pan saute in butter with cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until a glaze forms on the plantain slices. Transfer to a food processor or stand mixer and break down the plantains to a grainy level.
Speaking of glazes, I also modified that a bit for quantity: half a stick of butter, half a cup light brown sugar, the juice of one fresh lime, and 3T rum. Oooooooh, boy.
Bake time done my way was 45 minutes. Thank you so much for the recipe!,Oh just WOW. And I took a huge risk and made a few changes to accommodate my wife’s gluten intolerance, making it for the first time.
