What goes into a keto coffee cake?

For the cake.


Ingredients used in the cake recipe

  • Almond flour: For this recipe, you'll need almond flour, preferably blanched or superfine almond flour, as it ensures a lighter texture. Avoid using almond meal, as it tends to result in a denser cake.
  • Coconut flour: You'll also require coconut flour, which should be sifted thoroughly to eliminate any clumps.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder is essential for adding rise and fluffiness to the cake.
  • Salt: Don't forget a pinch of salt, as it helps balance and enhance the other flavors in this recipe.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter should be measured in its melted state.
  • Sugar substitute: When it comes to sweeteners, you can use either a brown sugar substitute or another high-quality keto granulated sugar substitute, such as allulose.
  • Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for optimal results.
  • Vanilla extract: Finally, don't omit the vanilla extract, as it's a must for enhancing the flavor of any baked good.


For the crumb topping

  • Almond flour: You can use blanched, superfine, or almond meal.
  • Butter: For the crumb topping: It should be cold.
  • Brown sugar substitute: Also known as keto brown sugar, it's superior to white sugar substitutes.
  • Cinnamon: An essential ingredient for that classic coffee cake flavor.
  • Salt: If you use salted butter, you can omit this.



How do you make a keto coffee cake?

Begin by blending the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl, then set it aside. In another bowl, employ a hand mixer to blend the butter and brown sugar substitute until the mixture achieves a creamy texture. Incorporate the eggs one at a time until they are thoroughly combined, and then whisk in the vanilla extract. Subsequently, gently introduce the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat them together until a uniform mixture forms. In a separate bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients. Now, take half of the cake batter and place it in a greased pan, followed by half of the crumb mixture. Add the remaining cake batter and evenly distribute the remaining crumb mixture over the top. Bake the cake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out mostly clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting and serving.


Tips for Perfect Results:

Sifting is Key: Prior to incorporating almond and coconut flour into your batter, be sure to sift them thoroughly. This step ensures a clump-free mixture.

Mind the Salt: If you choose to use salted butter in any form, remember to exclude the additional salt from the recipe. This prevents an overly salty taste in your cake.

Don't Over-Bake: Avoid the temptation to over-bake the cake. It continues to cook as it cools down, so follow the recommended baking time to achieve the ideal texture.

Storage and Freezing Guidelines:

To Store: Any leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to one week.
To Freeze: Slice the cake and place the slices in an airtight container for freezing. Your frozen cake will stay good for up to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use just almond flour (or coconut flour)?
A: The perfect cake texture is achieved by using a combination of both almond flour and coconut flour. If you choose to use only one of them, you might want to consider making an almond flour coffee cake for a different flavor and texture profile.

Q: How can I prevent the crumb topping from burning?
A: To prevent the crumb topping from burning, always bake your coffee cake on the middle rack of the oven. If it appears to be browning too quickly, you can shield the top of the cake by covering it with tin foil during baking.

Q: What should I serve with coffee cake?
A: Coffee cake is aptly named, as it pairs wonderfully with coffee beverages. Some delightful keto coffee options to serve alongside your cake include salted caramel cream cold brew, a classic cold brew, or a satisfying bulletproof coffee. Enjoy the perfect pairing!
