Gluten Free Chocolate Cinnamon Cake
A take on classic coffee cake, this gluten free chocolate cinnamon cake is not just a mouthful to say. It’s a mouthful full of flavor and character. While chocolate adds a level of richness, the cinnamon sugar crumble yields texture and sweetness to the cake. Pairs perfectly with a piping hot cup of coffee or cup of orange spice tea. Even better, this coffee cake can be assembled in less than 15 minutes, then the oven does the heavy work. It’s gluten free but remains fluffy, chocolatey and oh so indulgent.
Cooking Time: 40 mins
Cooking Temp: 350 degrees
Ingredients:
Cake:
¾ white sugar
1 stick unsalted butter ( softened)
1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
¼ c sour cream
1 c milk
1 1/2 c gluten free flour (I recommend King Arthur’s Gluten- Free Flour Blend)
1/2 c cocoa powder
½ t salt
2 t baking powder
½ t baking soda
Topping:
¾ c packed brown sugar
2 T cinnamon
Cake Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9” springform pan with non-stick oil.
- In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar until pale yellow.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, sour cream and milk, mixing until well incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients: gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until the batter is nice and thick. Set aside
Topping Steps:
In a bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Assembly:
- Using the prepared tin, place half of the batter into the pan smoothing our the top with the back of a spoon.
- Shake half of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter in the tin.
- Use the remaining cake batter to entirely cover the center layer of cinnamon and sugar. It is easiest if you place the batter in the center and use outward strokes towards the edge of the pan to get an even layer.
- Top the cake with the remaining cinnamon and sugar crumble.
- Bake for 40 mins.
- Allow the cake to cool.
- To remove: If using a springform pan, place the pan on a tall drinking glass. Release the outer ring, lowering it down to the counter. Then using a plastic spatula, lift the cake off of the pan onto a plate. Move quickly and confidently, a pause results in a broken cake.
