Not too heavy...not too light! Yes, this coffee cake is still dense, even with gluten free flour!
*We do use butter in this recipe, and although we eat primarily "Dairy Free," butter is something that we both can tolerate, as it has relatively small amounts of lactose. Butter also contains butyrate, which can promote digestive health!
