Can't wait to make this! Are the ingredient quantities the same (minus the xanthan gum) if I use Better Batter instead?

At that time, I was using Bob's Red Mill flour because it was all I knew. When you use Bob's in this recipe, yes the batter is super thick. I do not ever recommend using it any longer, and don't ever plan to recommend it. It is not a true all purpose gluten free flour. I hope that's helpful. xoxo Nicole Hi, Marilyn,

I turned out great. It was delicious. I was wondering, how thick should the cake batter be? Mine was so thick I had to add an extra egg and 1/2 water. It was still thick, almost like biscuit dough. Did I do something wrong? Thanks Marilyn I made this today with apples. I turned out great. It was delicious. I was wondering, how thick should the cake batter be?

Ingredients: Garbanzo Bean Flour, Potato Starch, Tapioca Flour, White Sorghum Flour, Fava Bean Flour. If this is what you are using, I'm glad because I think things made with this do have more flavor. But you usually say not to use a bean flour mix. Thanks for explaining.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the coffee cake. I had nearly forgotten about this recipe! I love the crumble topping. The cake for me is almost just an excuse to eat the crumble. Thank you for letting me know about your successful substitutions. That is always really valuable. I've been thinking about making mini coffee cakes like little Drakes Cakes. I miss those terribly! They're all crumble. Mmmm crumble. Thank you again. xoxo Nicole Hi, Trish,

I used my own 'multi-purpose' blend of flour of that make from finely ground brown rice flour (it has to be finely ground, I purchase Authentic Foods...Bob's Red Mill or most others won't cut it), potato starch, and arrowroot starch. The only alterations I made were adding some cinnamon into the cake batter as well and omitting the blueberries as my husband doesn't like them. And I used Greek yogurt in place of sour cream...and used half Spectrum organic shortening in place of half the butter. I find that in 'butter' cakes a half shortening/half butter combo works to provide both flavor and great texture. I kept the crumb topping exactly as you printed it. My cake turned out wonderful. It was not too dense yet not too fluffy and dry as some coffee cakes can tend to be. And not overly sweet. I am going to play around with it and start adding other things.

This is a basic crumble topping, and it is great on almost anything! Thanks for posting your question... Warmly, Nicole Hi, Emily,

Would it still be the same, or is there something in the cake recipe that changes the flavor of the cake. I was wondering if you could use any cake recipe, and then just add the topping.
