My Grandma’s Gluten Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake (Edit recipe)

Notes

Choose the freshest ingredients for the best results. Think, farm fresh eggs, high quality butter and high quality cream so the richness comes through in every bite! Next time you make this great coffee cake recipe, sprinkle some chopped berries when they are in season. If frozen, thaw first so it doesn’t make your cake soggy. I would recommend adding to the middle layer after the first layer of streusel. Try your hand at making this recipe in a tube pan. It would not work well in a bundt pan because of the crumbly nature of the streusel, but a 9 -inch tube pan which converts to a 9 cups tube pan would work. The recipe makes approximately 8 cups of batter which will leave room for rising. Make these into muffins when you fill each muffin cup as directed in the cake but on a smaller scale. If you make 6 large bakery style ones, bake for the same time as the cake. If you are making regular muffin size, start out with half of the bake time and toothpick test a few minutes early. What makes this recipe for your grandma’s keto coffeecake recipe so special? Grandma’s keto gluten free coffeecake recipe is special because it’s been a cherished family tradition. The technique is where the real secret lies as you do not cream the sweetener with the butter like regular coffee cake recipes. It still has all of the warm cinnamon flavor and tender crumb, and is the perfect treat for special holidays and weekends. Is there a way to make this coffeecake dairy-free? Absolutely! For a dairy-free version, I recommend substituting dairy-free margarine for the butter or a butter flavored shortening. Use dairy-free sour cream or dairy free yogurt instead of traditional sour cream. As long as you love the product alone then the flavors will turn out for you! Since we are only using 1 tablespoon of coconut flour in this recipe you can replace it with another moisture absorbing ingredient like tapioca starch, rice starch or corn starch. Its reasoning for being added in this recipe is absorption of liquid ingredients to create a moist crumb versus dry. Usually coconut flour cannot be substituted in a recipe but in this recipe it can because there is so little asked for. Can I use all-purpose gluten-free flour instead of almond flour? Yes, you can substitute almond flour with all-purpose gluten-free flour if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly from the original recipe as usually all-purpose gluten free flours have a very starchy base. Absolutely! This modified recipe for Grandma’s recipe for coffee cake is versatile, so you can easily adapt it to make muffins instead of a coffeecake. Simply pour the batter into muffin tins and adjust the baking time to half if filling regular cups, or same time if large bakery style. What if I don’t have sour cream on hand? If you don’t have sour cream, you can use Greek yogurt as a substitute. You need to make sure it is thick and creamy like sour cream. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
