This Gluten Free Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe is an irresistible take on coffee cake that is fluffy, moist, and topped with a sweet cinnamon streusel topping. Slice and serve for breakfast, brunch, a mid-day treat with a cup of tea, or even an Easter feast.
Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease an 8x8 square baking pan.
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl until fully incorporated.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together room temperature butter and sugar until creamy. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and mix further. Then add sour cream and mix until all wet ingredients are fully combined.
In 1/2 cup portions, add dry flour mixture to wet ingredient mixture until all dry mix is fully incorporated into a cake batter.
Pour cake batter into greased 8x8 square baking pan.
For Topping:
Chop cold butter into squares and add to food processor along with flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Pulse mixture until course crumbs are formed. This can also be done with 2 forks or a pastry cutter. Be careful not to over warm the butter in mixture.
Add topping into a bowl and toss with chocolate chips.
Sprinkle topping evenly on top of cake batter in cake pan.
Cook for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cake may be a little wobbly when first taking out of the oven and just needs to cool and settle.
