How large a box for the cake mix? Live-G-Free is 15 oz and only makes a 1-layer cake Pillsbury is 17 oz and makes a 2-layer cake. Thanks!

Hello! We used a 15 oz box of cake mix, but I'm sure the 17 oz box would also work! The 17 oz box would give you more cake, so the cinnamon and sugar swirl wouldn't be as prominent. Let us know how it turns out!

I loooove coffee cake - it's a guilty pleasure of mine - but this looks pretty healthy, so I don't think I'd even feel guilty about it!

I agree that this is a great idea for a breakfast. There is nothing wrong with eating cake for breakfast, I learnt that when I lived in Germany and they ate cake for breakfast every day. I always look for breakfast ideas where I don't have to go to any trouble at breakfast time as I'm up at 530 and out the house by 6 so no time to eat, yet I'm starving. So thanks for this novel idea.

Can this be made in a Bundt pan or spring foam pan. I'm going to make this thursday.

Hello! Yes, either of those will work, but the baking time may change depending on the size and shape of your pan. As long as you monitor your coffee cake closely, you should be good to go. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It tastes amazing!

Delicious, especially when it's right out of the oven! Sometimes gluten-free recipes taste bland to me but there was a lot of cinnamon that made this coffee cake tasty.
