Whether it’s a celebration cake layered with frosting or a simple loaf cooling on the counter, there’s something so comforting about homemade baking. These gluten-free cakes and loaf recipes are all about bringing that sweetness back — tender crumb, rich flavour, and no one will guess they’re gluten free.

Gluten Free Chocolate Madelines

These Gluten Free Madeleines are the perfect little treat when you want something elegant but incredibly simple to make. They’re soft, buttery, lightly sweet, and bake into that classic scalloped shell shape that feels instantly fancy — even though they come together with basic pantry ingredients.

To make them extra special, I dip the cooled madeleines in rich dark chocolate and finish them with a sprinkle of crushed hazelnuts. The combination is absolutely dreamy: the tender sponge, the snap of the chocolate, and the nutty crunch on top. They look like something from a bakery window, but they’re surprisingly easy to whip up at home.

These gluten free madeleines are perfect for holiday gifting, serving with coffee, or adding to a dessert board. And trust me — once you start dipping them in chocolate, you’ll want to try all kinds of variations!

Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Loaf

If you love chocolate as much as I do, this Gluten Free Chocolate Almond Loaf is going to be your new favourite bake. It’s rich, tender, and full of deep chocolate flavour — and just when you think it can’t get better, it’s topped with a glossy chocolate glaze and a sprinkle of chopped almonds for the perfect crunch.

This loaf has everything I want in a chocolate dessert: a moist crumb, a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth glaze, and a balance of sweet and nutty flavours that makes every bite irresistible. It looks impressive but is actually so easy to make — no mixer needed, just a bowl, whisk, and loaf pan.

The glaze seeps slightly into the loaf, keeping it extra moist, while the toasted almonds on top add a beautiful texture contrast. It’s perfect for an afternoon coffee break, a simple dessert, or even a homemade gift that looks straight from a bakery display.

Gluten Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake

If there’s one thing I never get tired of baking, it’s a classic coffee cake, but this version takes it to the next level. My gluten free cinnamon coffee cake has everything you love: a tender, fluffy crumb, bold cinnamon flavour, and that buttery crumble topping we all secretly wish there was more of.

What makes this recipe extra special is the way it’s layered. That being said, I don’t just sprinkle a little cinnamon on top—I layer it right into the cake. First, start with the batter, then a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. Secondly, after that add more batter, and then a thick layer of buttery crumble. As a result, every bite is perfectly balanced with cinnamon spice and a soft, moist texture that no one will believe is gluten free.

In fact, it’s the kind of bake that makes your kitchen smell amazing and tastes even better with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Whether it’s for weekend brunch, a cozy afternoon break, or a sweet breakfast treat, this coffee cake always disappears fast!
