What is coffeecake
I know; it’s a funny question, but it’s a good one!
Coffeecakes go back hundreds of years, and they’ve evolved. But in most people’s minds, the best ones are made of great cake and streusel — a cinnamon spiced mixture that’s sweet, buttery and sometimes nutty.
The added fun is that coffeecakes should use what you have on hand. So that means: It’s great to use jam or seasonal fruit, if you want to make yours extra special.
You can also layer the streusel, swirl or dot it in.
This simple Cinnamon Coffeecake is really great just how it is. But you can also embellish it or add your own flare if you’d like.
And, enjoy herbal coffee, Hot Carob or tea on the side, because that’s why it’s called coffeecake. 🙂
Ingredients in Paleo AIP Cinnamon Streusel Coffeecake
The flours used in the main cake recipe are cassava, tiger nut and coconut. If you can’t have coconut, that one flour may be able to be subbed with tiger nut, but I haven’t tried it yet.
The other dry ingredients are: collagen, gelatin, cinnamon, baking soda and sea salt. The collagen and gelatin can not be omitted.
Wet ingredients are coconut or tiger nut milk (if you can’t have one of these, Avo Milk may work), oil and apple cider vinegar.
The Cinnamon Streusel topping ingredients are:
- coconut sugar
- tiger nut flour
- palm shortening — This brand is best and recommended.
- cinnamon
