Cuisine: American
Serves: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with cooking spray or butter, and optionally line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together until well combined. This will be used for the topping.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the batter.
- Carefully pour the remaining batter on top, spreading it out evenly. Finally, sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top of the cake batter.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the cake into 9 servings and enjoy your delicious gluten-free Jules coffee cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
Tips
- Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to a dense, tough cake. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh to help the cake rise properly.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to check doneness, looking for a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to help it set and maintain its structure.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
