Gluten-Free Vegan Coffee Cake

Alright, gather ’round, my gluten-free, vegan, coffee-loving comrades! Today, I present the Gluten-Free Vegan Coffee Cake. This cake is so good, it’ll make you forget all about those sad, gluten-laden pastries. Each bite is a moist, cinnamon-kissed marvel that leaves you feeling smugly virtuous.
