I'm not sure I'm allowed to copy the full recipe here, but you'll find it at Moxie: Bacon-Brown Sugar Coffee Cake.
We wrapped the cooled cake and didn't taste it until the next morning. Before slicing the cake, I dusted it with a little powdered sugar. I think a glaze--maybe with some bacon drippings in place of butter or a touch of maple syrup--would also work, but this was quick and easy.
The result? The cake itself is very tender and tasty. The bacon flavor isn't very pronounced, but it adds to the complexity of the overall flavor. I think that, if the bacon was a little more crisp and more finely crumbled, it would hardly be identifiable. The flavors of vanilla, bacon, and brown sugar, combined with the texture of oats and bacon, make this a very interesting cake. It would be fun to take to a pot-luck brunch (although it might be wise to label it in case anyone doesn't eat pork).

My hubby would love this, he is a bacon huge lover. While a healthier product, maybe the low sodium had something to do with the bacon flavor. I would like to try this using your changes and a few more slices of bacon. Thanks for sharing. Have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteHmmm bacon ok I'm taking your word on it and will try it!!
