    What is a coffee cake?

    The naming of a coffee cake can be confusing for those outside the USA as it's not the coffee flavoured cake as we would think.

    A coffee cake is basically a soft sponge cake with a crumble or streusel topping. Layers of fruit or cream cheese can be between the sponge and the crumble topping.

    Carbs in Strawberries

    Strawberries are a great low carb fruit and have just over 5g net carbohydrates per 100g serving. Strawberries are low in calories, high in fibre and a great source of Vitamin C. Plus they taste delicious!

    Ingredients

    I've used coconut flour for this recipe as it's one of my favourite low carb flours to bake sweet goods. The other ingredients are all low carb pantry staples, making this an easy and uncomplicated cake to make.

    Although the low carb streusel topping should traditionally have cinnamon in it. I've left it out as I wanted a simple vanilla cake to go with the strawberries and cream cheese layers. By all means add cinnamon to your topping.

    The low carb sweetener

    For this keto coffee cake we used allulose as it's currently our favourite low carb sweetener. It doesn't have any icy after taste that some other low carb sweeteners such as erythritol can have.

    How to make this keto strawberry coffee cake

    There are 4 layers to make in this cake but they are all fairly simple.

    coffee cake layers
    1. The coconut flour vanilla sponge cake
    2. The cream cheese mixture
    3. A layer of sliced strawberries
    4. The coconut flour crumble topping

    This cake does not take too long to make and you will need 3 bowls for the different layers.

    strawberry coffee cake process
    1. Start with the coconut flour sponge cake. Cream the butter and low carb sweetener.
    2. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
    3. Whisk the remaining dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
    4. Next is the cream cheese layer. In the second bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese with the low carb sweetener.
    5. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
    6. Place all the topping ingredients in a small bowl.
    7. Rub the butter in with the coconut flour and low carb sweetener with your fingers until you have a crumble mixture.
    8. You are ready to start your layers and bake!

    Can I make this with almond flour?

    If you are not a fan of coconut flour and want to make this cake with almond flour, it's simple enough. We have a low carb almond flour coffee cake recipe or a raspberry almond crumble cake both make with almond flour that you could adapt for the sponge and topping.

    Storage

    Keep this keto strawberry coffee cake in the refrigerator. Ideally in a sealed container and it should last for up to 4 to 5 days.

    Recipe Tips

    This cake is best after a few hours in the fridge due to the cream cheese mixture. Ideally, serve it the next day.

    If the crumble topping starts to brown too much at the edges during baking, cover them with silver foil.
