Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 2 cups (280g) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • For the Apple Filling & Swirl:
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup (65g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • For the Vanilla Glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A tiny pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together your gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. The mixture should look smooth and creamy.
  • With your mixer on low, add about a third of the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Follow with half of the Greek yogurt. Repeat, ending with the final third of the flour mix. Mix just until no dry streaks remain—don’t overmix! The batter will be thick.
  • In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create the apple filling.
  • Spread about two-thirds of your cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle all of the spiced apple filling evenly over the batter. Dollop the remaining batter over the apples in spoonfuls. Don’t worry about covering every inch.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. While it cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, vanilla, and salt for the glaze. Add the last tablespoon of milk only if needed to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake.

Notes

A simple, fuss-free gluten-free coffee cake that captures the cozy, cinnamon-spiced joy of a classic apple fritter. Perfect for fall brunches, potlucks, or a treat with coffee.
