Cake:
- 1 cup of vegan butter
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of dairy free milk
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour
Cinnamon Swirl:
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cups of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder (optional – just for color)
Crumble Topping:
- 6 tablespoons of butter
- 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×9 baking pan or generously grease and dust lightly with flour a bundt pan
- In a bowl using a hand mixer or in a bowl with your stand mixer, cream the butter with the brown sugar and the granulated sugar
- Next add in the vanilla extract, vanilla paste, baking powder, and salt
- With the mixer on low, slowly stream in the milk – the batter might separate but it will come back together
- Add the gluten-free flour to the batter 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition to get all the flour incorporated
- The batter should be thick like a cake
- Mix the cocoa powder, sugar and cinnamon together
- Pour 1/2 the batter into the prepared baking sheet, and spread the batter evenly.
- Next, evenly coat the batter with all the cinnamon sugar mixture
- Pour the remaining batter on top of the sugar center and spread out evenly
- In another bowl using two forks or your hands (I find that clean hands work best to create a crumb), pinch the vegan butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon together to form loose crumbs
- Sprinkle over the top of the batter and place in the oven for 50-55 minutes until the center is fully cooked through
- Eat and enjoy!
