Irish Coffee Cake - ingredient replacement question?

[Guest guest]

Hi PunkinPie,

Your recipe sounds so yummy but I was wondering if the cream could be replaced

with something else? If I consume dairy, it makes me so poorly for weeks after.

I tried soycream once and it was so vile, tasted nothing like the real thing!

IRISH COFFEE CAKE

 

2 1/4 c. flour

1 1/2 c. sugar

2 1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 2/3 c. chilled whipping cream

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled (3 squares)

3 tbsp. instant coffee

2 tbsp. sugar

1/2 c. Irish whiskey

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 round pans, 9 x 1 1/2

inches. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder and salt. Beat whipping

cream in chilled 3 quart bowl until stiff. Beat eggs until thick and

lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Fold eggs, vanilla, and chocolate into

whipped cream. Add flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, folding

gently until all is blended.

 

Pour into pans. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out

clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool

completely. Mix coffee (dry), two tablespoons sugar and whiskey. Stir

until coffee is dissolved. place cake layers on wire rack over waxed

paper. Poke holes in cake with long-tined fork. Pour half of coffee

mixture over each cake. Let stand for 30 minutes.

i haven't tried Lori's recipe yet, but i would imagine you could

use soycream to replace the dairy cream in this recipe. i wouldn't

worry too much about taste difference since it isn't like you will

be eating it straight on its own, but it is blended into the batter

of the cakes so it will be combined with other flavors and the

cream serves more of a textural purpose.

If you try it, let us know how it comes out.
