How to Make Almond Flour Coffee Yogurt Cake
- Preheat & prep: Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (175โฏยฐC). Line your pan with parchment or grease it with butter.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, yogurt, brewed coffee, and vanilla until smooth and golden.
- Mix dry ingredients: Gently fold in almond flour, baking powder, and saltโdonโt overmix! The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Bake: Transfer to the pan and smooth the top. Bake 25โ30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completelyโthis helps keep the crumb tender.
- (Optional) Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle a simple glaze (1/2โฏcup powdered sugar + 1โฏtbsp milk + 1/4โฏtsp vanilla).
- Slice & serve: Enjoy warm with coffee or tea. The aroma alone will make your kitchen feel like a cozy cafรฉ!
Each bite offers a comforting, slightly tangy flavor with delightful coffee undertonesโjust like a hug in cake form!
What to Serve with Almond Flour Coffee Yogurt Cake
- A frothy cappuccino or creamy latte.
- Fresh berries or fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Dollops of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted almonds.
- A glass of almond milk or chai tea for a cozy afternoon.
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Donโt overmix the batter to keep it light and airy.
- Let ingredients reach room temp (eggs and yogurt) for better texture and lift.
- Check the center at 25 mins, as almond flour browns faster. Avoid overbaking!
- Prep ahead: Whisk wet ingredients in the morning and store in fridge; bake when ready.
- Add texture: Gently fold in ยผ cup chopped nuts or 2 tbsp chocolate chips.
Storage Instructions
- Room temp: Store in airtight container for 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Slice and freeze in layers up to 3 months; thaw overnight in fridge.
- Reheat: Warm slices in microwave for 10โ15 seconds or toast briefly.
