You heard that right!
This is the best gluten and dairy free Coffee Cake you will ever make!
Really, I'm not joking. This will knock your socks off and be the weekend favorite with the fam.
Love Coffee Cake but find yourself avoiding it due to food allergies, sensitivities, fear of bloating or guilt? Look no further, as with all of my creations, this Coffee Cake is gluten AND dairy free.
I've always had a soft spot for coffee cake. I loved that it wasn't just offered for breakfast but for dessert as well. There is something about the moist-ness that it offers or the fact that every bite I took was filled with the warmth of the cake and the taste of vanilla and cinnamon goodness.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that there is actual coffee beans in this cake. NOPE! This cake has no coffee in it what-so-ever! It was named this because it was said that this cake was served best with a nice cup of coffee. And I couldn't agree more.
My two favorite things.
COFFEE AND CAKE!!
You could say coffee cake was my jam growing up.
This Cake beat all my expectations and they will beat yours as well.
I mean look at these photos!
Tender, moist, creamy, filled with cinnamon from top to bottom. This cake is screaming your name!
So get going my peeps!
