Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free)
Hey, chocolate enthusiasts! If you’re ready for a coffee cake that doesn’t mess around, let me introduce you to Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake—gluten-free, of course. Imagine a cake where gooey chocolate chips meet a crumbly, fluffy base. It’s like a hug from your sweet tooth, but with fewer regrets.I savor this cake when I’m feeling a little too smug about my baking prowess or just want a treat that says, “I’ve got this covered.” My friends and I have devoured it during brunches, making sure no crumb is left behind. Yep, I've totally been caught snagging the last piece—sorry, not sorry!
