Now that I’ve laid the groundwork with the Sweet Rice Flour Blend. I thought I’d share with you my first successful recipe created with it. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I’ve found replacing some of the flour with almond flour works great. In the case of this coffee cake, it helped make it more moist and less “chalky.”
My cousin was visiting from New York City, so I decided to host a brunch to celebrate. Coffee cake is a must for brunch in my family. My mom makes the best coffee cake using Bisquick. I know that they make a gluten-free Bisquick now, but in my effort to avoid processed food, that was out as an ingredient. So I knew buttermilk would be an ingredient, as well as the cinnamon crumb topping.
My first attempt at the coffee cake, I didn’t use almond flour and ended up with a very dry (but tasty!) cake. So I decided to replace some of the flour with almond flour. A few more adjustments and I had a gluten-free coffee cake that tasted just like my mom’s! I added blueberries because they are in season, but the cake is just as good without the blueberries.

Your recipes look amazing! I will definitely be looking to your posts for my holiday cooking inspiration! I have been using almond flour for a while now and was also growing bored of it and becoming eager to experiment more with glutinous rice flour. Thanks for all of your tips!

We love your gluten-free buttermilk coffee cake recipe! It's what I've been looking for since I went gluten-free 3 years ago. Due to my daughter's nut allergies we are unable to use almond flour so I used instead a combo of 1 Cup Mama's Coconut Blend and a 1/2 cup brown rice flour mix from Gluten-Free Baking Classics. My kids and I are loving it as I type – in fact, it's almost gone! Thank you!
