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!
