So…I have this homemade gluten free coffee cake I made up a few years ago. The kiddos loved it and often requested it for their birthday cakes. I had a can of organic pumpkin pie filling and was thinking…hmm, maybe I’ll add that to the coffee cake and see how it turns out. At first I was not overly impressed, at least as looks go; it didn’t rise much or look like a fluffy cake. However, I changed my mind after a bite! The inside was delicious– pumpkin-y rich and moist, and the outside was chewy.
