Coffee Crumb Cake (Paleo + Gluten Free)

Our super moist coffee crumb cake recipe is piled high with crunchy cinnamon crumb topping. This gluten free version of a classic New York style crumb cake is naturally sweetened and wholesomely delicious!

Making good tasting gluten free baked goods used to be a serious challenge for me. Working with Bob's Red Mill has changed that. Their flours have taken the guesswork out of grain-free baking, making it so easy to create delicious recipes for our gluten-free friends. I even went the extra mile for this coffee cake recipe, substituting coconut sugar and applesauce for regular granulated sugar!
