Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup milk 
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup brown butter 
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, quartered
  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, sliced lengthwise, then across, into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumble Topping:

  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

 


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease a 9′ x 9′ baking dish with butter or canola spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk in brown sugar.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla, milk, and sour cream, until combined.
  5. Whisk half of the dry ingredients into the wet. With a large spoon, stir in the remaining dry ingredients until combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into greased baking dish and spread out across the bottom of the dish.
  7. In a large bowl, toss strawberries and rhubarb with two tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon over batter in the baking dish.
  8. Top with the second half of the batter and spread evenly over the strawberry-rhubarb mixture.
  9. Make the crumble topping.  In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and the melted butter until it resembles pea-sized crumbles. Spoon evenly over coffee cake.
  10. Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in baking dish on rack for 20 minutes.
  12. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  1. I use fat-free milk and sour cream. Feel free to use whole milk, low-fat, almond, or oat.
  2. To make brown butter, just melt the butter in a small pot or pan and swirl until the butter turns light brown.
  3. To store, cover with cling film and refrigerate. Reheat in over or microwave.
