Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 ½ cups Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Otto's Naturals Grain-Free Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons cinnamon
Crumble:
- ¾ cup Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 8 Tablespoons butter, cold, chunked
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon filling ingredients.
- Combine the melted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir vigorously until the butter and sugar are thoroughly creamed together. Vigorously stir in the eggs.
- Add the yogurt, cassava flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until everything is well combined. The batter will seem thick.
- Spread half of the batter evenly into the pie plate. Sprinkle the cinnamon filling evenly over the batter. Spread the remaining batter evenly over the filling.
- In a food processor, combine the crumble ingredients. Pulse several times until a chunky crumble forms. At first the crumble will seem fine and powdery, keep pulsing until thicker crumbles form.
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. If the crumble starts to brown too much, cover the pan with aluminum foil while the cake finishes baking. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. The coffee cake can also be frozen and unthawed
Where's the coffee in this "coffee cake"?!
The term “coffee cake” generally refers to a simple and unfrosted type of cake that is best served with coffee. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean it has coffee in the ingredients.
