I’ve been on a red velvet kick lately…maybe it’s because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner at the time I’m writing this. Speaking of which, why are red velvet desserts only popular during Valentine’s Day? I know it’s probably because of the red color, but there are so many more wonderful things about this flavor! The light tough of cocoa, the subtle sweetness, and the moist, tender crumb. Perfection 😍

This Gluten-Free Red Velvet Crumb Cake is all of what I described and more! The red velvet cake is so moist, it’s spectacular. It’s not too sweet, so the sweeter crumbs on top with a dusting of powdered sugar really balance the whole dessert out. The crumbs on top are actually red velvet too! - not just regular crumbs with some red food dye thrown in there for color. They have all of the signature red velvet flavor! It’s a Red Velvet explosion!!!!

Let the baking begin!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

- Always preheat your oven.

- All refrigerated ingredients should be room temperature unless stated otherwise.

- I recommend using re gel food coloring instead of the liquid. Gel is much more concentrated, so you won’t need to use an entire bottle/jar to achieve the bright red.

- You can use sour cream instead of yogurt in the cake, but I feel the yogurt gives the cake a better texture.
