Easy and Delicious Keto Coffee Cake
This Keto Coffee Cake is super soft, buttery, moist, flavorful, and cinnamon-y! It is the perfect breakfast treat to go with your coffee.
Unlike most other coffee cake recipes, we have not only included a delicious cinnamon crumble on top of this cake, but also in the middle! TWO LAYERS of yummy cinnamon is as delicious as it sounds. You could even add some almonds or pecans to the recipe if you are feeling nutty!
Another thing that makes this recipe great is that we added in some sour cream which makes this cake very soft and moist. Instead of being dry and crumbly, it is super moist! If you prefer a more dense cake though, feel free to only use 1/2 cup of sour cream instead of an entire cup.
We love cinnamon! Some of our other favorite recipes using cinnamon are our Keto Cinnamon Pretzels and our Thick and Soft Keto Snickerdoodle Cookies. If you are a cinnamon lover like me, you will love these recipes as well.
You can store your leftover keto coffee cake in the fridge for up to a week. I like to microwave a piece each morning and eat it while I drink my morning coffee.
Coffee In Coffee Cake?
Despite the name, there is no coffee in this cake. Instead, coffee cake got its name because, you guessed it, it is enjoyed best with a cup of coffee in the morning. I think it’s called “coffee cake” because “breakfast cake” doesn’t round too grown up. Trust me though, this cake is good at any time of day!
Our keto coffee cake is great with a cup of coffee in the morning, but it’s also delicious with a cold glass of almond milk, a cup of hot tea, or pretty much any delicious beverage! You can’t go wrong with this keto coffee cake!

Can you use coconut flour instead of almond flour? If so, how much? Thanks!
Kasey
Tuesday 29th of December 2020
Yes! You would just use 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every cup of flour called for in the recipe. Coconut flour is more absorbent, so you may want to add extra eggs and liquid. Enjoy!

This has become our favorite, go to coffee cake recipe! I made a couple tiny alterations to our family taste. We only ever have salted butter, so I leave out the salt in the crumble. I also upped the sweetener from ¼cup to 1/3 cup in the crumb, since we like it a tiny bit sweeter. It is amazing! I have made a ton of variations and all come out great!
Pumpkin spice: sub 1/2 of the sour cream for pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice in place of the nutmeg/ cinnamon
Lemon poppyseed: leave out nutmeg/ cinnamon. Add in 1-2 tsp lemon extract and 1 Tbs poppyseed to the cake. Add 1/2 tsp molasses to the crumb along with another 1/2 tsp lemon extract.
Chocolate chocolate chip: leave out nutmeg/cinnamon. Add in 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips to the cake and 1-2 Tbs cocoa pwd to the crumb.
Blueberry: add in 1/2 cup fresh berries to the cake. An additional 1 tsp of lemon extract to the cake reallysets it off!
