I really wish you could eat this Cinnamon Coffee Cake while you read this post. With a gigantic cup of steamy coffee.
This cake is so delicious be prepared for it not to last very long. You will need to make two. One for me and one for you.
It certainly is big enough to share but you might not want to. It has no refined sugar, and it’s grain free which makes this the perfect treat for those of us who want perfection in perfection.
Got it? Let’s bake!
Be sure to load up your cake with a whole lot of Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream.
Dairy whipped cream is great too. Take a few extra minutes to whip it up yourself. Always worth it!
Also, top your cake with a whole lot of nuts, pomegranate seeds and cranberries. (there are nuts inside the cake as well)
They make it festive!
I love cinnamon, so there is a lot of that in this cake too.
Do you have a favorite coffee cake recipe?
Our Elf on the Shelf loves coffee cake too…
What ingredients make yours extra special?

Posted at 09:31h, 03 DecemberI either need to make or buy some more almond flour so I can try this out asap. Cinnamon, coconut cream, pom arils… I’m drooling like my 7 month old.
Hmm, wonder if coconut “cream” would work as a sub for the yogurt?

Posted at 13:36h, 09 DecemberHi Marla!
I have been a fan for quite a while but this is my first comment.
I got acquainted to your website when I started a diet that took the ridiculous amount of sugar I was consuming at the time, and dairy, and gluten, and, and… But you know what? I feel amazing! And you and your lovely website with your delicious recipes (I already tried quite a few) helped me so much on the early stage of my diet, because I realized food can still be beautiful and tasty!
And on top of that, your energy is just inspiring!
I have only one question about the stevia measurement you provide. As English is not my first language, I’m not sure I am adding the correct amounts. When you say droppers do you mean a drop or another kind of measurment?
Thank you so much again for creating such amazing recipes!
Ana

Posted at 08:01h, 10 DecemberThis cakes looks simply amazing and that is why we have it featured in our Mouth Watering Mondays post today at http://www.noshingwiththenolands.com Come on over to see. Cheers, Tara

Posted at 21:46h, 19 DecemberLooks Delicious…do you think the Greek yogurt could be substituted with coconut yogurt? I need something dairy & soy free
Marla
Posted at 04:39h, 20 DecemberHi! You can try, but I have never used that coconut yogurt ~ sounds delicious ๐
Michelle
Posted at 00:20h, 20 DecemberThis looks fabulous and Oh So Fancy!!! I’d love it if you’d link it up here! http://michellesfavoritethings.blogspot.com/p/tuesdays-tasting-party.html

Posted at 16:23h, 23 DecemberI really want to make this, it looks superb. I am so behind blogging and checking out my pinterest ๐ Quick question. I have used stevia powder extract in the past and I actually don’t like it at all. I find it it gives a really strong after taste flavor, sort of like splenda. How is the liquid stevia? any better? I really loved all your colorful and vivid pictures!!
Marla
Posted at 06:36h, 25 DecemberI totally agree with you on many of the stevia brands. The only one I recommend is NuNaturals ~ usually I use their vanilla stevia drops. Tastes just like sugar without the aftertaste & empty calories. Thanks for your sweet compliments!
Eat Good 4 Life
Posted at 08:41h, 28 DecemberPerfect. Thanks for the response. That is the one I got from Amazon so I can’t wait to try it and experiment with it!!
Heather @ Multiply Delicious
Posted at 10:14h, 26 DecemberMarla this is such a beautiful cake! Especially love the coconut cream – Yum!
I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday!
Ema
Posted at 13:39h, 07 JanuaryThis was the perfect addition to my Christmas dinner (I used this as dessert). I subbed in Pumpkin for the Applesauce and added in all the Pumpkin Pie spices along with the cinnamon. Thank you so much for the recipe it will become a repeat in our house for sure. Oh, the coconut whipped cream was the biggest hit of all, my husband who hates dairy whipped cream and coconut loved the most.
Marla
Posted at 16:10h, 07 JanuaryThat is awesome Emma! We can’t get enough of that cake and whipped cream either. Pumpkin was a great idea!
Megan Pence
Posted at 20:41h, 16 JanuaryThis just totally has my tummy yelling at me right now – to feed it a huge, ginormous slice of THIS!! Gorgeous Marla!
Hillary
Posted at 10:01h, 28 AugustLooks delicious!!! Could you use oat flour instead of almond flour???
Marla
Posted at 04:22h, 29 AugustHi Hillary, I have not tested this recipe like that. If you do let us know how it turned out ๐

Posted at 20:56h, 17 OctoberCan I omit the raisins all together or do I need to replace it to keep the recipe balanced?

Posted at 06:36h, 02 OctoberOMG! This looks delicious, I cant wait to try it
Debbie
Posted at 11:13h, 30 DecemberI was wondering if you have a conversion of how much sugar I should use instead of stevia. I usually use coconut palm sugar. I don’t tolerate stevia at all but the cake looks amazing. Thank you.
Marla
Posted at 09:00h, 31 DecemberI do not….so sorry! I’ll try to work on an option with sugar ๐ Happy New Year!
