Don’t Let Sauce Have All the Fun

Don’t Let Sauce Have All the Fun

Topping
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup whole-grain pastry flour
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter, at room temperature

Coffee Cake
2 cups whole-grain pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 lg egg
1 lg egg white
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 cups cranberries, coarsely chopped

To make the topping: In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, walnuts, cinnamon, and butter. Mix with your fingers to form crumbs.

To make the coffee cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13" × 9" baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, egg, and egg white. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 3 minutes, or until light in color. Beat in orange peel and vanilla extract.

On low speed, beat in one-third of flour mixture and one-half of sour cream. Repeat, beginning and ending with flour. Beat about 2 minutes, or until smooth and thick.

Pour into the prepared baking dish. Scatter cranberries on top. Sprinkle with topping. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack.

What the heck is pastry flour?

Pastry flour is made from a type of wheat berry that gives a milder taste, so you get the benefit of whole wheat flour without that strong whole wheat taste.  You can get it in the bulk foods section of Whole Foods for sure.  :)

Brands that make this are Bob's Red Mill and King Arthur flours -- and Bob's is carried in the LA area at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Henrys, Ralphs and Albertsons. Personally I was just going to try it with my regular old white flour but now you've made me look it up and I may have to try this pastry flour stuff!

PASTRY FLOUR:  Is available in supermarkets and specialty stores and comes as either plain or whole wheat.  It is a low-gluten flour used in delicate cakes and pastries. Absorbs less liquid in recipes. It is from soft red winter or soft white winter wheat for use in biscuits, pancakes, pie crust, cookies, muffins and brownies, pound and sheet cakes. This flour is available either bleached or unbleached as well as whole wheat and regular.As far as where to buy it, I would just search through Google for the stores in your area.  I had never heard the term till I saw the recipe.  I had to Google it to get the answer.

Recipes sounds delicious.  I have been making cranberry upside down cake for several years, but will try this new recipe.

When I worked in a bakery, we would substitute 1/2 cake flour and 1/2 all purpose flour if we ran out of Pasty flour.

A few years ago I worked in a bakery and the bakers would substitute 1/2 cake flour and 1/2 all purpose flour if they ran out of pastry flour.

I made it this morning for company. Sorry but I only had white unbleached flour so I used it instead of the pastry flour. I also added 2/3 cup of pureed rendered pumpkin since I had it in the fridge. It was a HUGE hit. A recipe I'll keep.

I love recipes using whole grain flours rather than 'white' flours. Thanks so much. I try to "healthify' as many recipe as I can using whole wheat flour or at least exchange a little whole wheat flour for white flour in some recipes where I can because it's just healthier for you. You just can't do it with all recipes. The ones I do it with my DH and son never notice the differebce. I also always add a little ground flax seed for health benefit - even to pancake batter. It's such a simple health benefit and no one knows the diff.

I baked this coffee cake and it is delicious!!!  If you like the combination of orange and cranberry you'll love this recipe.  BTW, I used regular flour and it turned out nice and light.  I also added some old-fashioned (not quick) oats to the crumb topping, since I love the extra crunch it gives.
