Healthy Coffee Cake is made with almond flour, coconut sugar and chocolate chips. This recipe reminds me of an Entenmann's Crumb Coffee Cake!

This cake might possibly be the best dessert recipe ever, or at least one of the best. The funny part about this is it's actually a recipe I created over two years ago, but never typed it up on the website. Not sure what I was thinking, but I am so glad I found it buried in my notes!
I've been enjoying this cake as a lunch dessert with a cup of iced coffee. Yes, I have lunch dessert and I'm not sure what you're doing if you don't. 😉 My boyfriend loves having this cake for breakfast. Either way, just bake it and enjoy it at anytime during the day.

Ingredients in the cake
- eggs at room temperature
- unsweetened almond milk at room temperature
- melted and cooled coconut oil
- vanilla extract
- coconut sugar
- almond flour
- tapioca flour
- baking powder (gluten free)
- dark chocolate chips - this is optional, but recommended because everything's better with chocolate!
Ingredients in the crumb topping
The cake is so fluffy, without regular all purpose flour. It's made with a mix of almond flour and tapioca flour. Please don't ask if you can substitute the flours. I love you guys, but I am telling you that these two flours together yield a beautiful fluffy and moist texture. If you never baked with tapioca flour, don't be intimidated! You can find it at any major grocery store, wherever you find Bob's Red Mill products. You can also just purchase tapioca flour on Amazon.
