Description

Enjoy this delicious blueberry coffee cake served with coffee, tea, or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon (separated) gluten-free flour mix
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup dairy-free butter, room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Streusel:
  • ½ cup gluten-free flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons dairy-free butter, cold
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°.  Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together 2 cups of the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. To make the streusel topping add all the streusel ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and use two forks or a pastry cutter to combine the topping ingredients together until it’s mixed and crumbly. Set aside.
  5. In a large mixing bowl cream together the dairy-free butter and sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
  6. Then alternately add in the almond milk mixture and flour mixture mixing in between each addition.
  7. Next, mix one tablespoon of gluten-free flour with the blueberries, stirring until the blueberries are coated with flour. Gently fold the blueberries into the cake batter.
  8. Use a spoon and spatula and spread the cake batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 60-65 minutes. With the blueberries, this batter ends up being very moist so it needs the extra-long bake time. About 45 minutes into baking, loosely cover with aluminum foil. It’s done when it’s golden brown and the center is fully cooked. (Using a toothpick test with this coffee cake isn’t always accurate, you’ll want the center to look even with the rest of the cake and not sunken down.)
  10. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Gluten-Free Flour: My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use are Pamela’s Artisan Blend and Better Batter. I’ve been using them both with great results. They are both a 1-1 substitute. If you use another gluten-free flour blend be sure that it contains xanthan gum. If not add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour.


Dairy-Free Butter: Suggested brands are Country Crock Plant Based with Avocado Oil, Smart Balance, or Earth Balance. To soften to room temperature, remove the non-dairy butter from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
