Instructions
- This recipe originated on Giada Entertains. Episode: Spring Supper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, flour and almonds. Add the cooled melted butter and stir to combine until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbs form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, sour cream and salt. Beat on medium to combine. Add 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder and baking soda. Mix again for 1 minute or until the mixture is smooth. Add the milk and mix again until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and fold with a rubber spatula being careful not to over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the berries and basil. Top with the crumb and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Hi @Diane! We’ve never tried it, but to make it gluten free, try substituting 1-to-1 gluten free flour for the all purpose flour. Let us know how it turns out!
Please advise on a gluten free version of the Strawberry Basil coffee cake. I would like to make for Mother’s Day Brunch. A Mother’s Day Brunch menu would be great too! Thank you!
I’m not going to rate the recipe because I didn’t get to follow the recipe exactly, as the lemon and zest weren’t included in the directions and I didn’t see the episode. Unfortunately it was too late to fix because I caught the mistake after it was already assembled. Please update the recipe.
