Instructions
Preparation Steps
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will ensure your coffee cake comes out perfectly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process will take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar mixture over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy it warm with your favorite coffee!
Notes
This cake is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
