Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

This is my first attempt at baking cinnamon swirl cake (you can tell by the poor “swirling” job I did) 😛 .

My obsession with sponge cakes and cinnamon is getting out of control – I can’t seem to test and try other recipes. It has to include cinnamon!!

Disregard my lack of artistic skills with the swirling and enjoy the cake!

INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE – 

1. 4 eggs
2. 1/4 cup maple syrup
3. 2 Tbsp almond butter
4. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
5. 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
6. 1 + 1/2 cups almond flour
7. 1 tsp baking powder
8. Pinch of salt

INGREDIENTS FOR CINNAMON SWIRL – 

1. 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup
2. 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
3. 1 Tbsp cinnamon

PREPARATION – 

1. Set oven to approximately 177 C
2. In a bowl, combine eggs, 1/4 cup maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla and coconut milk. Whisk well
3. In a another larger bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well
4. Stir wet ingredients into dry.
5. Grease a 8×8 glass square baking pan with a bit of coconut oil.
6. Pour in the batter.
7. In a small bowl, use a fork to stir together the 2 Tbsps maple syrup, coconut oil and cinnamon for the topping.
8. Drizzle this mixture over the top of the batter and use a butter knife to swirl (try to do a better job than mine )
9. Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!
