Coffee cake is one of my favorite things to make. It’s a cake that is so good it doesn’t need frosting. It’s a little fancier than bread or muffins which means it’s perfect to serve to guests or give as a gift.
This is a healthy version, made completely gluten and dairy free. It is so delicious though!! My dad was visiting last week and he isn’t paleo. He happily ate a large piece and didn’t know it was paleo until I told him- it’s that good!!
