Quick Crumb Cake

This cake has a very crumbly texture and is sweet enough to eat unfrosted. However, if you want to take the time to frost a cake it also works well frosted. It mixes together very quickly and easily though it takes nearly an hour to bake.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup rice flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon peel

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Microwave butter until softened. Mix with sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time.

Mix together dry ingredients. Sift into sugar mixture. Add lemon peel.

Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 50 minutes.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

I've tried this recipe with yams and with sweet potatoes. It works well with either. So you can use the one you prefer or switch between the two for a little more variety. The recipe says to use 1/4 cup of sweet potato but I never measure. I just use one large sweet potato or yam. And I've found popping them in the microwave is the easiest way to prepare them for mashing.

This recipe will also work with rice flour rather than wheat if you'd like to be glutten free. It makes the pancakes a little more dense. You'll probably want to cook them a little longer on a lower heat.

Also, I've found that these pancakes taste good with just a little honey and butter. Hope you enjoy.

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Preheat a large skillet or griddle.

Beat eggs in large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well.

Drop 1/4 cups of batter onto hot pan. Cook 3 minutes per side--until lightly browned.

Mochico Bread

If you are allergic to wheat flour or would just like a sweet bread I recommend this rice bread. It is actually sweet enough to use as cake. You could top it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a honey glaze.
It's very heavy and kind of spongy. The sponginess will increase as the bread cools. (Although at my house it tends to get eaten so fast it doesn't have time to cool.

Ingredients:

• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 can coconut milk
• enough regular milk to make a total of 3 cups (about 2 cups regular milk)
• 1 box mochico rice flour (2 cups)

Combine wet ingredients and baking powder. Beat until well blended. Stir in rice flour. (Take care as rice flour is very fine.)

Grease and lightly flour an 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the top is brown (approximately one hour). Rising will deflate when the bread cools.
