Ingredients

Crumb topping

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup brown monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

Cake

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Make the crumb: stir the almond flour, brown monk fruit, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a fork or your fingertips until it forms pea-size clumps. Refrigerate while you make the cake.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated monk fruit, baking powder and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients until smooth and thick.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and scatter the crumb topping over it, pressing lightly so it sticks.
  6. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the crumb is golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. If the topping browns too fast, tent with foil after 25 minutes.
  7. Cool in the pan at least 30 minutes, then cut into 12 pieces.
Tip: Keep the crumb cold until it goes on the cake. Cold butter is what gives you big, crunchy clumps instead of a sandy layer.
Dad jokeWhy did the coffee cake call the police? It got mugged.
