This easy gluten free cinnamon coffee cake is the best bundt cake! This recipe uses sour cream and is super moist. I think the best coffee cake is from scratch with icing. Yum!

This gluten free cinnamon coffee cake takes 90 minutes to bake. So, I like to make the cake the day before I want to serve it. This allows the cake to cool completely overnight. Then in the morning I make the simple icing and pour it over.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Grease a bundt pan with butter or coconut oil. Set aside.

Whisk together the rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer blend the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamed. Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Blend until all ingredients are combined. Add the dry ingredients and blend until just combined.

Add the chopped pecans to the batter and blend until just combined.

Pour the batter evenly into your greased bundt pan.

Bake at 300 degrees for 1 ½ hours (90 minutes).

Let the cake stand for 10 minutes before removing it from the bundt pan to a cooling rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make gluten free coffee cake?

The key to gluten free coffee cake is getting it rise while also being dense and moist. Since you are cutting out gluten that would normally give the coffee cake these traits you need to make sure you are using xanthan gum.

Xanthan gum replaces the gluten in the recipe and helps you get the correct texture. The gluten free flour you use will likely have some xanthan gum in it, but I like to add extra to achieve the coffee cake texture.

Why should I use sour cream in my coffee cake?

The sour cream is what makes this cake so moist. I like to use full fat, thick sour cream. If you don't have sour cream on hand you could also use plain yogurt.
