Raspberry Swirl Coffee Cake (Gluten-Free)

Morgan James Eckroth
I whip this up when I'm feeling like a domestic goddess or when I’m just in it for the taste-testing—don’t judge, we all have our moments. It’s my go-to for cozy afternoons or when I need an excuse to indulge without guilt. The raspberry swirl? It's my way of adding a touch of sophistication to my otherwise laid-back Portland lifestyle.

Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Raspberry Swirl:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Heat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 8-inch pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Raspberry Swirl: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook 1 cup raspberries with 2 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tsp lemon juice until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Blend Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup applesauce, 3 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • Combine: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Assemble: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the raspberry swirl over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it in. Repeat with the remaining batter and raspberry swirl.
  • Bake: Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
