Aunt Rocky’s Cinnamon Dolce Coffee Cake (Low Carb, Gluten Free)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Generously grease an 8×8 glass baking dish. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, melt butter in the microwave (about 40 seconds). Add eggs and whisk well until eggs are creamy and uniform in color.

Add vanilla, cream, milk substitute, and instant coffee. Whisk again. Set aside to allow the coffee to partially dissolve.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk dry ingredients (not including the sliced almonds). Add dry ingredients to the large bowl, and whisk quickly to mix in before the coconut flour thickens it too much for a whisk. Taste for sweetness, and add sweetener of choice if you want a sweeter cake.

Pour or scoop the batter into the baking dish, and smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back or a spoon. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top. Bake 25 minutes, or until the middle is completely set and looks dry. Use a toothpick, if unsure.

Transfer to wire rack to cool. Wait until the cake is completely cool to slice into 12 servings.

Store leftovers on the counter for a couple of days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze.
