Low Carb Cinnamon Coffee Cake (FM)
Recipes | June 12, 2016
*yields 8 portions
Cake Ingredients
2 ½ cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup sugar substitute (I use Swerve)
3 large eggs
Topping Ingredients
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup Swerve
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
½ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 35oF degrees.
- In a medium size bowl whisk the eggs, then add the coconut oil, baking soda, salt and whisk again. Add the Swerve and whisk.
- Add the almond flour into the egg mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined and a soft dough is formed.
- Make the topping: add the coconut oil, Swerve and cinnamon into a smaller size bowl and mix well until smooth. Add the sliced almonds and mix well to coat all the almond slices.
- Grease a 9″ round glass baking dish and dust with almond flour. Then press the dough into the dish and spread the topping evenly over the dough.
- Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. Serve warm or cold with cup of coffee.

When I see a cake with word coffee in the title I expect the coffee to be one of the ingredient. I feel very misled now:) Just kidding. I can see I’m just supposed to eat it with coffee. American recipes are funny sometimes.

I thought the same thing for the longest time, and it STILL throws me off most of the time! LOL! (probably because I loooooove coffee flavored desserts, even though I hate coffee…so I see the word and start thinking it’s going to be one of those! Mmmmmm!)

I love coffee flavoured desserts too. Coffee ice cream mainly. And yes, I fell for the trick more than once too. Not just on this blog but on the internet. Excitedly clicking on a recipe only to find out there is no coffee lol:)

Katarina, I just made the coffee cake and I added some fresh ground espresso in with the topping mixture. It turned out sooooo good.
I wish I could show you all a picture because it turned out beautiful!

Why the blanched almond flour?

I can’t have almonds or gluten. Can I use coconut flour instead? Thanks 😋

I’m sure you can but you’ll have to adjust the amount of eggs and oil, because the coconut flour is really dry.

I made with 2 cups of coconut flour and i added 3 cups of water. Baked for a longer time but it taste delicious and very moist. Thanks you. Yum yum
