Coffee Crumb Cake

Keeping the dairy-free butter cold and cutting it into the crumb topping with your fingertips, rather than melting it, is what keeps the topping crumbly and distinct instead of turning into a paste that sinks into the cake.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup allulose
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (streusel)
  • 3 tbsp allulose (streusel)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (streusel)
  • 3 tbsp cold dairy-free butter, cubed (streusel)

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square pan.

  2. 2

    Make the crumb topping first: whisk almond flour, allulose, and cinnamon together, then cut in the cold, cubed dairy-free butter with your fingertips until pea-sized crumbs form — keeping the butter cold and working it in by hand like this is what keeps the topping crumbly and distinct; melted or softened butter turns the mixture into a paste that just sinks into the cake instead of staying on top.

  3. 3

    For the cake, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt together.

  4. 4

    Cream softened dairy-free butter and allulose until fluffy, beat in eggs and vanilla, then alternate adding the dry ingredients and almond milk.

  5. 5

    Spread batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the surface, and bake 28-32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
