And with this my dear gluten-free friends, I've crossed another to-do on my recipe bucket list! COFFEE CAKE! I think this is my new seasonal holiday joy and I'm so very proud about how it came out on the first try! This is so full of yum, so fun to make, and might I add pretty damn healthy too! I don't know where exactly my obsession with the quest for making the perfect coffee cake came from, but I'm glad I got the urge! But...I have my suspicions that it had something to do with this gem.

Yes, yes, another Entenmann's baked good. The classic Crumb Coffee Cake! Growing up, I'm pretty sure that was the only coffee cake I'd ever really have, not even that often, mind you. But I guess, just like the crumb doughnuts, this cake gave me the same satisfaction and I'm still revealing in the gluten-filled memories. Haha, processed baked goods were not the only thing I ate growing up, but they sure do give me some great inspiration for remaking those goodies to be healthy and fit those dietary needs!

Now my friends, before we delve further into coffee cakeing, let's discuss what exactly coffee cake is. You know I love my food history and culture, and this little tid-bit always baffled me. I was always pretty angry (yes, angry) at the fact that coffee cake did not actually contain any coffee. I mean, what is up with that!? I mean, a classic coffee cake really is just flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar with that great crumble topping. And is it a cake or a quick bread? Is it breakfast or dessert?

Well first off, this "cake" is eaten WITH coffee or other hot beverage like tea. That's why it's called coffee cake. A pretty good accompaniment to coffee if you ask me! Some see it as a sweet bread since it can either be baked in a loaf pan or in a square baking pan like I did. So anytime you'd drink coffee, this cake is acceptable. Meaning, breakfast, brunch, or dessert is the perfect time to serve some up!

Which leads me to believe this would make the perfect Christmas morning breakfast! Come on now! Cozied up by the fire and Christmas tree, unwrapping presents and stockings, sipping some coffee or hot chocolate, I can just picture it now! Then comes in warm slices of gingerbread coffee cake (not just plain coffee cake!) and everyone just blisses out in pure holiday joy with the first fork full! Can you tell I'm excited about this coffee cake? And Christmas...

Another thing I'm ultra excited about is posting this first recipe using quinoa flour! It may be my new favorite flour (okay, after buckwheat). It has a very strong smell when you first open the package, but fear not! Once baked, it's fabulous! However, I didn't stop with just quinoa flour, I made the crumb topping with another one of my near and dear favorite ingredients, quinoa flakes! So I give this cake a major thumbs up in the health department! Quinoa is one of the best complete plant-based proteins!

And you know, gingerbread, so very iconic and you know I love it! Just wait until you check out just exactly that topping is made too! It actually came out a bit crunchy which was fantastic with the soft cake. So now, I hope your mouths are watering and your coffee cake cravings are reaching unbearable levels, because I'm about to blow you totally out of the part!

Are you excited? Are you? I am! I'm hoarding 2 squares of this in my freezer at the moment for just the perfect morning...like tomorrow 😉 Cracking in to the top of the crumb and then the soft moist cake with your fork (or spoon) is one of those moments that should be captured on film and made in slow motion. You know what I mean? It's that good!

So tell me:

+ Who here likes coffee cake?

+ Do you have a Christmas breakfast tradition? Growing up, my dad always went down the street to get us bagels, doughnuts, hot chocolate, and coffee (as my brother and I eagerly awaited ripping open our stocking and presents!)

    This recipe really caught my eye with the quinoa and all. I'm always looking for super healthy recipes. My husband has a sweet tooth, a holdover from his childhood when his mom, and I LOVED her, put sugar on/in just about everything, like most red blooded American housewives did back in the 50s. It has been huge struggle for him. It affects his weight control, his food happiness factor. He fights it to this day, even though I have never used sugar when I cook and am literally neurotic about clean nutrition, non GMO ingredients, no sugars, preventing TypeII Diabetes. and on and on. This tells me that we need to eliminate all sugars, no matter how they are derived, from our children's diets so that they don't end up with this life long sugar tooth problem. Have you tried to make this recipe without the erythritol? What would you substitute as the sweetener? Honey would work but it might not give that semi crunchy coffee cake effect. If you come up with an alternate recipe that works I would love to have it! It's a good one!

    • Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

      December 17, 2015 at 12:27 am

      Erythritol is not a sugar. It's like stevia, but more equal of a replacement with classic sugar when baking. So I'm confused?

    I have once tasted a chocolate cake made from Quinoa and loved it so I always get excited when I see a recipe for sweet treats using quinoa! This looks absolutely delish and great with a cup of tea!

    OMG you were right this is a recipe to be VERY excited about! Coffee cake alone, awesome! But you make it gingerbread-ified and then throwing in some funky new flour action, this is like crazy amazing awesomeness! (I think I just put way too many adjectives together in my excitement) And the texture looks really lovely too! Skip the coffee for me, I'll just take an extra slice of this 🙂 Hope today is going okay <3

    I have to confess I don't think I've ever had an Entenmann’s cake. I have only heard of them on Seinfeld reruns, lol. I almost never bake but this is too tempting to resist and the flavors have me wishing it was in front of me right now. This will be perfect for guests over the holidays. Thanks, Rebecca!

    I do Rebecca. I. Love. Coffe cake. And it's so funny that I came across this and your whole discussion about what makes it a cake or a sweet bread because I just made a "bread" recipe that could've easily been an amazing coffee cake.
