Coconut Flour Coffee Cake

Monday, January 25, 2021
Coconut flour is one of those flours hard to work with without the right ratio of ingredients, this coconut flour coffee cake is light, moist, and fluffy.


The cake isn't overly sweet and made from scratch and perfect with any hot beverage.


Not only is this cake super simple to make but so versatile for serving as you can leave the topping off and add just fresh fruits.


This cake tastes great plain also and perfect for folks watching their sugar intake, as it has very little in it.


With just a few ingredients, this is truly one of the easiest scratch cakes I ever made and it's so delicious.


The cake makes a small 8-inch cake and a great little treat at breakfast or brunch.

Coconut Flour



This flour is very different from all-purpose flour and very important to measure everything perfectly.


Coconut flour requires lots of moisture as it really absorbs all the moist ingredients quickly.


After several experiments and many adjustments, this cake came out perfect with these measurements.


The cake has a subtle sweetness and just right in texture.
