Just wanted you to know that this boozy baked treat is sponsored by my friends over at Amoretti!
This gluten free coffee cake tastes like a strawberry mimosa and is perfect for Spring brunch! It’s so moist and tender that you’d never know it’s healthy!
You know how they say the best things in life are free?
I’m putting in a vote to change the saying to “the best things in life are baked goods with booze.”
You remember the vegan truffles with champagne and bacon beer cupcakes so I don’t think I even need to explain why I’m asking you to sign a pretend internet petition to change the saying. I’m PRETTY sure you can get down on boozy baking.
Especially when aforementioned “boozy baking” is a TOTALLY brunch appropriate coffee cake that is swirling with the flavor profiles of bubbly champagne, tangy oranges and sweet strawberries.
Straight up. It’s like a Mimosa in a CAKE FORM. WITHHHHHH some strawberry pizazz to make it a little more sparkly. <–If you don’t dig the eggs in here you could totally try the gluten free VEGAN coffee cake!
Whatever that means.
In other news, did you know that Mother’s Day is JUUUUUUUUST around the corner? I don’t even know your Mom, but I can guess that she wouldn’t mind starting her day with a slice of MOMosa cake and champagne.
[clickToTweet tweet=”Celebrate Mom with a #glutenfree Strawberry ‘Momosa’ Coffee cake for brunch! @AmorettiFoods” quote=”Celebrate Mom with a #glutenfree Strawberry ‘Momosa’ Coffee cake for brunch! @AmorettiFoods” theme=”style2″]Yep. Totally mish-mashed these flavor profiles together just so we could get all cutesy with names.
You know me too well.
If you’ve ever had a Mimosa before, you will know that there are t-w-o MAIN, KEY, GOTTA-HAVE-THEM ingredients to making the most slurpable, fresh, morning-approved adult beverage:
- Orange juice
- Champagne (<3 <3)
BUTBUTBUT, what if you don’t LOVE oranges? (like me.) What if you LOVE strawberries? Can you make a strawberry Mimosa? DOES THAT COUNT?
Well, I tested that idea for you.
To give this gluten free coffee cake a SRSLY delicious, fresh and sweet strawberry taste, I used Amoretti’s Natural Wild Strawberry Champagne extract.
You guys. It ACTUALLY tastes like REAL strawberries. Annddd It A-L-S-O tastes like champagne, so you OBVIOUSLY understand that MOMosa was the ONLY WAY TO GO.
Buuuuuut, I also added some orange zest to give it that underlying POP of zesty, vibrant citrus that will tingle your taste buds with the familiar brunch-drink sensations in EVERY BITE.
#BrunchGoals.
Also. There IS “real” champagne in the cake. Partially because, in combination with a dollop of Greek yogurt, its bubbles gives the oat flour base that MEGA dose of moisture that every good coffee cake needs.
BUT, mostly because it’s a Mimosa which means I have every reason to put booze in a cake for you.
You’re welcome.
Can we talk about streusel? Okay, let’s talk about streusel.
If you looked in the dictionary for the word “love” I am pretty sure that its definition would be THIS STRUESEL.
It’s made of a only a few real-food ingredients and it’s got juuuust the perfect amount of coconut-sugary sweetness with mega crispy, totally crunchy, wholesome oat goodness that sits on top of the tender, chewy cake in a way that can only be described as TEXTURE HEAVEN.
If you’re a texture freak like yours truly (which I know you are) then crispy, crunchy, crumbly topping sitting on top of a chewy, MEGA moist cake with BOOZE and BERRIES and ORANGES OH MY, is going to feel REALLY REALLY good inside your hungry belly.
And Momma’s too.
You know, if you decide to share.

I’m not a huge fan of alcohol in general, but mimosa are a whole different story! I’d rather eat my food than drink it, which is why my mouth is drooling for a piece of this tender cake!
Taylor Kiser says

Ameena says
Hi Taylor! The recipe looks delicious. Is it possible to replace the champagne with something else? Thanks.
Taylor Kiser says
You can PROBABLY use almond milk or something, but 1. it won’t taste like a Mimosa and 2. I can’t guarantee results as I’ve not tried it. let me know if you do!
