A low carb pumpkin coffee cake that is made with layers of cake, cream cheese and a crumble topping. Baked with coconut flour this is a healthy alternative.
The pumpkin cake is baked in two layers with a cheesecake filling. The cinnamon crumble topping is sheer delight.
Although I made this low carb and gluten free coffee cake you could use almond flour. The quantity of almond flour would need to be increased and perhaps one less egg in the sponge. When I bake a delicious cake with coconut flour I should reach for a bag of almond flour to try the same recipe again.
The trick to the light sponge in this pumpkin coffee cake is separating the eggs and whisking the egg whites. This makes such a difference when baking with coconut flour and ensures a light sponge. I had worried that the pumpkin would make it too heavy but it just added a delicious flavour.

This is very tasty but it’s not what I would consider a coffee cake. It’s more of an upside-down pumpkin cheesecake or a deconstructed pumpkin cheesecake with streusel on top. It does not have the crumb like properties of a cake, the texture is more smooth and akin to a custard or a tart.Rosalyn says
Made this yesterday, and it is really delicious. i used coconut sugar. and you can't even tell, has a nice flavor and not too sweet. the 5 eggs were perfect too. it's moist and not dry, and doesn't taste eggy at all. thank you for a great recipe!Eileen Hall says
That's a shame. I might try it and freeze it then defrost in fridge and see what happens.

Terri says
Very good! Have you frozen this or would you not recommend?
Debbie says
Does it have an egg taste using 5 eggs?? Looks really yummy
Maria says
Can I use Almond flour in place of the coconut flour in the pumpkin coffee cake? Or a mixture if the 2 flours? Im not a big fan of coconut.
