Strawberry Coffee Cake

I think breakfast is probably my most favorite meal of the day. I am a total carb girl though. I DO NOT like eggs and breakfast meat. Bleck! But, I do love bread. Any kind of bread. Pancakes, muffins, waffles and.... coffee cake - yum! I also LOVE strawberries, so when I saw this strawberry coffee cake it just seemed perfect: and it pretty much was! Of course I modified it to suite my desires, but you know, that's just what I do.

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1 Tb. gluten

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
