Cinnamon Coffee Cake

This treasure was found and adapted from Myheartbeets.com website. This is a fabulous website, and this particular recipe scores a 10 on deliciousness. Yes, it is Paleo. It will be a special day Coffee Cake as it is rich, even though Paleo.  My version lessens (in 1/2) the original amount of coconut sugar and skips the glaze. To me, it couldn’t be more delicious.  I plan to make it again on Christmas Eve morning.

Ingredients for Cake

• 1/2 C Coconut Flour
• 1/2 C Almond Flour
• 1/4 C Arrowroot Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 C Coconut Milk, full-fat
• 1/2 C Ghee softened or 1 stick Grassfed Butter
• 5 Tbls Honey
• 4 Eggs at room temperature

  

Topping

• 1 C Pecans
• 1/4 C Ghee softened
• 1/2 C Coconut Sugar and 2 packets Truvia
• 3 tsp Cinnamon

This topping would also be delicious on a Pumpkin Pie!

2. Add the dry ingredients together for the cake and mix well.
