This Chocolate Coconut Almond Coffee Cake is a sweet, moist, light twist on classic coffee cake. The addition of chocolate makes this a rich treat. Enjoy!
As noted earlier in my blog, I am known to friends, family, and even strangers as the “coffee cake lady”. I make a variety of coffee cakes from my classic Original to Blueberry and several in between.
This recipe is great, and everyone who tried it loved it. I did notice a difference in the batter of this recipe by using the coconut water vs. regular water as it was thicker. This cake is light, fluffy and has everything that a classic coffee cake needs, sugar, cinnamon a touch of sweetness and a dash of love.
How do you make Chocolate Coconut Almond Coffee Cake?
-
Preheat oven to 350; grease a 9×13 metal pan.
-
Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a mixer for 7 minutes (this is key to make the pudding set). I love to use my Kitchen Aid mixer for this!
-
Meanwhile, mix together brown sugar, coconut, almonds, and cinnamon in a bowl.
-
Once the cake is done mixing for 7 minutes, pour half of the batter in the greased 9×13 metal pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the sugar mix over the cake in the pan.
-
Pour the remaining batter on and sprinkle with remaining sugar, swirl in with a knife.
-
Place in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the cake is set and is pulling away from the edges. Let it completely cool so it does not crumble when you cut and serve it.

Thank you for your article. I like it very much. I love cocozia. Yumm! Here it is http://www.amazon.com/cocozia?channel=posts
You should try it! It is organic, non-gmo and very refreshing.
Almonds and coffee are a good flavor combination, the coffee cake would be tasty.
