Ingredients
FOR THE COFFEE CAKE ::
- ½ cup softened butter or organic palm shortening if you can’t have butter/dairy
- 1/3–1/2 cup honey coconut sugar will work here but will change the color of the coffee cake
- 2 ½ tbsp lemon zest I had 2 lemons so this was what I got from 2 lemons
- 1 tsp almond extract vanilla extract would be fine – the almond is SO good though
- 1 egg
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk or raw milk if you can have dairy
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup juice from lemons I used 2 lemons
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
FOR THE CRUMB TOPPING ::
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup cassava flour
- 3-4 tbsp avocado oil or melted butter or olive oil
- 1 tbsp juice from a lemon

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees, and grease a 2 quart baking dish with butter, coconut oil, or palm shortening.
- Blend the butter, honey, lemon zest, and almond extract in a medium mixing bowl until creamed.
- Add the egg, coconut milk, ACV, and lemon juice, and blend to combine.
- Add the flours, baking powder, and sea salt, and blend until just combined, and then pour the coffee cake batter into the greased baking pan.
- Combine the crumb topping ingredients int a small bowl, and sprinkle over the top of the coffee cake.
