Ingredients: Coffee Cake
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup lactose-free sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1/4 cup gf Jules gluten-free flour (makes it lighter, but you can use all gluten-free all-purpose flour if you prefer)
3/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Ingredients: Streusel
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan or (9 x 5-inch) loaf pan.
(2) Make the streusel: To make the streusel. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until a crumble forms.
(3) Make the batter: In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla, beating until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the blueberries by hand so they don’t get crushed.
(4) Finish: Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/2 the streusel evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter and then sprinkle evenly with the remaining streusel.
(5) Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and toothpick comes out clean.
(6) Plate and serve: Slice and serve warm with a pat of butter melting into the streusel topping.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
