Paleo Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake Recipe
Serves 8
Ingredients
For the sugar mixture
For the cake
For the glaze
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9-inch square baking dish with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and coffee granules. Set aside.
For the cake, in a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, coconut palm sugar, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts, and vegan milk. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir well.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Generously sprinkle about three-fourths of the cinnamon-sugar-coffee mixture evenly over the layer. Carefully pour the rest of the batter over the cinnamon-sugar-coffee layer.
Pop the baking dish into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Immediately brush the tablespoon of melted coconut oil over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar-coffee mixture.
For the glaze, blend all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to reach the consistency you prefer. I like my glaze to be spreadable and thick, so I don’t add water.
Slather or drizzle the coffee cake with the glaze and serve.
