This is the perfect dessert for the holidays and beyond! Serve with a cup of coffee, chai, dairy-free milk, or a pumpkin spice latte to be instantly transported into cozy winter holiday mode. We hope you LOVE this vegan coffee cake! It’s: Serve plain or (our preference) finish it off with a drizzle of powdered sugar glaze, dollops of coconut whipped cream, or dairy-free yogurt (we love Culina plain or vanilla). Then comes the coconut sugar-pecan crumble topping made with gluten-free flour, pecans, coconut sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and optional coconut oil! It adds the perfect sweet crunch to the top of the cake.Īll that’s left to do is bake to golden brown perfection!

For natural sweetness, we used coconut sugar, and for leavening, we used a mix of baking powder and baking soda.

Instead, coffee cake refers to eating a sweet cake alongside a cup of coffee. While the name “coffee cake” might make you think it contains coffee, that’s not usually the case.
