This super easy and delicious gluten-free coffee cake takes about 10 minutes to create, 30 minutes to bake, and serves three teenage boys… or probably six to eight ‘regular’ people.

Cake Ingredients:

  • 4 T melted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 C white sugar
  • 3/4 C white rice flour
  • 3/4 C tapioca flour
  • 1/2 C potato starch
  • 1/2 C cornstarch
  • 3 t baking powder
  • 1/2 t xanthan gum
  • 5/8 C milk

Swirl and Topping Ingredients:

  • 4 T melted butter
  • 3/4 C chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/3 C brown sugar
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 1 t cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cake batter: Mix melted butter, eggs, and sugar until smooth.  Add all dry ingredients at once and then mix on medium until combined.  Finally, add milk and mix. Pour into greased 11 x 13 glass baking dish.

Swirl and topping:  Mix your second 4 T of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nuts, and cornstarch until combined.  Using a spoon, drop 4 equal ‘globs’ of about half of this mixture evenly across the cake batter. Use a fork or knife to swirl the globs through batter.  Scatter the rest of the mix in ½ teaspoon amounts over the top of the cake.

Bake at 350 degrees for 26 – 28 min or until edges start to brown and toothpick in center comes out clean.

Enjoy!
