Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This forms the foundation of our gluten-free batter.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step ensures a perfect, airy texture in our coffee cake.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract for a warm, inviting aroma that enhances the overall flavor.
Step 5: Alternate Dry Ingredients and Sour Cream
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, ensuring even mixing.
Step 6: Create the Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl. Swirl this mixture into the batter, creating a visually appealing pattern.
Step 7: Prepare Streusel Topping
For the streusel topping, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Mix in the melted butter until crumbly.
Step 8: Assemble and Bake
Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping, then layer the remaining batter and finish with the remaining streusel. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool and Serve
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and savor each gluten-free bite of this heavenly creation.
