Ingredients
Cake
- 1⅓ cup gluten-free 1-to-1 flour
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup milk
- ⅓ cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
Crumb topping
- ⅓ cup butter
- ⅔ cup gluten-free 1-to-1 flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the filling. Set it aside.
Crumb topping
- In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour using your hands or a pastry cutter.
Cake
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Add the softened vegan butter and work it into the flour until the mixture looks like sand.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Stir in the milk until a smooth batter forms. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Once the batter comes together, continue mixing the batter for 2 more minutes. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- While the batter rests, preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C) and grease and line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Put ⅔ of the rested batter into the pan and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar filling so it's an even layer, and spread the remaining cake batter on top.
- Smooth the surface and add the crumble topping on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. Let it cool completely before serving.
