Yes,you can use Frank’s or your favorite hot sauce. For a bread, I would combine this with my Confetti Cornbread.

No rating only because we haven’t cooked this yet, but a couple questions:
2. Can I sub Frank’s Red Hot for the Tabasco, or would it change the flavor profile significantly?

3. Also, I see that serving over rice is recommended. Do you have any additional bread or muffin recommendations or other accompaniments that go well with this?

No rating yet…only because we haven’t cooked this, but a couple questions before we try this:

1. Can we substitute liquid smoke for hickory smoked salt for health reasons? Liquid smoke is supposedly healthier, because most of the PAHs which form with smoked foods, is filtered out. If “yes,” how much liquid smoke would you suggest?

2. Can we substitute Frank’s Red Hot for Tabasco, or is the flavor profile too different?

3. One reviewer here suggested adding canned green chilis. Is this supposed to be a traditionally “hot” dish, as in “spicy?” Or is this supposed to be on the milder side?

4. I see the suggestion to serve over rice. Do you have any additional suggestions for bread or muffins to accompany this? Or for other side dishes that pair well?

Thank you in advance. We’re excited to try this?

I didn’t have any maple syrup, so I made it with date paste, and it was fine. I also subbed arrowroot for the cornstarch with no issue. I thought it had too much nutmeg (¼ tsp would be more than enough), and maybe not enough cinnamon and cloves, but other than that it’s a really good cake, comes out nice and fluffy and moist. I can see what she is saying about the temptation to eat it all up.
