Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely!
Almond flour isn’t a 1:1 substitute, however, you can follow this coffee cake recipe and add blueberries in instead of chocolate chips.
Most coffee cakes here in the US don’t actually have coffee in them. It’s called coffee cake because it tastes amazing with a cup of coffee. However, if you want coffee in it, simply add in some instant coffee, about 2 tsp- 1 tbsp depending on how strong of a flavor you’d prefer.

I made this today and it was basically still raw, so I baked it longer and it was still bad. I’m not sure how you got an edible texture.
Hi Cameron, that’s strange! how long did you bake it for? Oven temperatures vary, but you should always insert a toothpick in the center and once it comes out clean then it’s done baking.
