Coffee Cake – A cake that isn’t really a cake and it has no coffee in it, but it goes great with coffee, so there you go. Coming up with a great coffee cake that is gluten free presents a few challenges. Gluten free flour has a tendency to end up with a dry finished product, probably because the gluten free flour doesn’t absorb the wet ingredients the same way wheat flour does. Speaking of gluten free flour substitutes, King Arthur Gluten Free Flour is one of the better tasting ones that we’ve tried.
For this recipe, we use the blueberries to add some sweetness but the sour cream is really the secret star of the show. You won’t quite be able to taste it in there, but it gives this coffee cake just the right amount of moisture to make it taste dang near as good as a coffee cake made with wheat flour.
This blueberry coffee cake is so tasty you won’t even realize that it’s gluten free. So let’s get to it.
