Coffee(paleo) cake for breakfast

Ingredients

For the cake part:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot flour (or tapioca flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • *optional* 1/2 cup raisins would be delicious in this cake

For the swirly topping part

  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • handful of whole pecans (to place on top)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry cake ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the wet cake ingredients in a separate bowl.
  3. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Pour into a greased pan. I used an 8×8 glass baking dish.
  5. Mix all of the swirly topping ingredients together to make a cinnamon “paste”.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the paste onto the cake batter.
