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

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.

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

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

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.
