Coffee Cake is the perfect addition to any holiday party. This gluten-free version uses gluten-free flour and even without the addition of any chocolate, it boasts a lovely creamy taste and lovely moistness. It is simple to make and tastes delicious!
Some of the gluten free flour to make the gluten-free cake are:

• Almond flour: When baking cakes, muffins, and bread, almond flour is a good option to use with coconut flour because almond flour does not have a strong flavor as coconut flour does. Almond flour is also a good flour for baking a lot of desserts like apple pie.
• Coconut flour: Coconut flour is great to use when baking with almond flour but you can also use just coconut flour to make a gluten free cake. However, coconut flour tends to have a more distinctive coconut flavor, so you may want to add a little vanilla extract to counteract it.
• Rice Flour: Rice flour is another good flour to use with coconut flour to make gluten free cake because it has a mild taste so it does not overpower the flavor of the Basic cake recipe. The texture of rice flour makes it a perfect substitute for coconut flour in any recipe that does not require the elasticity of gluten such as breading and cookies.

Note: Gluten free cake will not rise as high or as fluffy as regular cake because gluten is what yeast feeds on and makes the cake rise.

The texture of gluten free cake is also a little different than gluten-full cake because the gluten in the flour helps give texture to baked goods. However, gluten free cakes do tend to come out soft and light since most gluten free flours have a low protein content and thus absorb the liquid from the eggs better. This means that the texture of the cake is less dense than a traditional cake and can easily be over or underdone depending on the recipe used.

Here are some Gluten-Free coffee Cake Recipes that you can try at home. You may already have all of the ingredients for these recipes in your kitchen.
