This is by far the easiest coffee cake recipes you will ever run into. It can be whipped up in less time than it takes to preheat the oven and it only takes 20-25 minutes to bake. Can you say, instant gratification? My boys love it! I make mine gluten free by using a gluten free one-to-one baking flour blend and dairy free with almond milk and Earth’s Balance ‘butter’. Since it has 3 teaspoons of baking powder it leavens very well in spite of being gluten free. Enjoy!
