Grain Free Coffee Cake
This cake has an almond flour base and is dairy free. It's really simple to make and is so moist and tender. Some raspberry preserves are mixed in for the fruitiness and it adds just the right amount of flavor. The cake is dairy free, using coconut oil as the fat and still feels indulgent and you won't miss the dairy at all!
Goat Cheese Glaze
For this, I used a goat cheese glaze to give it a cheesecake taste, but if you can't have dairy then a coconut butter glaze like in this peach cobbler coffee cake. The goat cheese glaze is easy- it's a few ounces of goat cheese (the log style), coconut sugar and lemon juice. This is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy and does have a cheesecake-like taste.
Why I Love Peace Coffee
I love making coffee cake and a very common question is, where's the coffee!? Well, coffee cake is meant to be enjoyed WITH coffee. My very favorite coffee to drink with this, or any, coffee cake is Peace Coffee. I love Peace Coffee because all their coffee is Organic and Fair Trade. They care about where their coffee comes from and the people that grow it. You can learn more about their coffee on their website. I paired the coffee cake with their Pollinator which is their spring blend. A light roast that is fruity and brings and pairs so well with the freshness of the coffee cake.
Storing Paleo Coffee Cake and Making Ahead
This is best eaten within a week, stored covered in the fridge if not eaten the first day. It's just as good leftover and even good cold from the fridge. This is a great treat to make ahead. If you want a breakfast for guests visiting to have in the morning or to bring to a gathering to share. I think the flavors come together even better after sitting for a day. So plan to make this ahead and share it 🙂
