Blueberry Almond Coffee Cake

[heart_this] · May 30, 2024 · 3 Comments

Blueberry Almond Coffee Cake

A light, fluffy and moist blueberry coffee cake with notes of almond and citrus!

Blueberry sweet treats are among my favourites and this blueberry almond coffee cake is near the top of my list! This is a pretty simple recipe, though it takes a bit of time, since you have the cake, the crumb topping, and the icing drizzle. The almond aspect comes from the use of some almond flour, almond milk and almond extract in the cake along with sliced almonds in the crumb topping. I like to add some citrusy notes by adding orange or lemon zest to the cake and using orange or lemon juice as the liquid in the icing sugar. This is a great cake to make ahead of time, say on the weekend, to have quick breakfasts or desserts during the week!
