With the rhubarb in my garden exploding, I decided to make good use of it and whip up a nice, "anytime" dessert, hence the development of this rhubarb coffee cake. I just love the tartness of rhubarb contrasting the sweetness of desserts! What better way to use up all the fresh rhubarb from my garden.
Keto Rhubarb Coffee Cake Recipe
Coffee Cake Ingredients:
- 3 cups rhubarb, diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated erithrytol
- ⅓ cup granulated erithrytol, powdered in a spice/coffee grinder
- 2 cups (192g) almond flour
- ¼ coconut flour
- ⅓ cup vanilla-flavoured whey isolate
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted (but not piping hot)
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia (vanilla-flavoured if you have it)
- 1 teaspoon [raw apple cider vinegar](raw cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Streusel Topping Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (32g) almond flour
- 3 tablespoons pecans, finely chopped
- 1½ tablespoons Sukrin Gold (*Or other granulated erithrytol-stevia blend or similar sweetener like Swerve, if not available)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large pinch sea salt
Directions:
In a medium mixing bowl, toss sliced rhubarb with 2 tablespoons of erithrytol. Set aside.
In another medium mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, remaining ⅓ cup of sweetener, whey protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch springform pan very well. Form a well in the dry ingredients and add the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, cider vinegar, liquid stevia and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread ⅔ of the batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle with the rhubarb and dot the remaining batter over top in small spoonfuls. Bake 30 minutes in preheated oven.
While the cake is baking, combine the crumb topping ingredients in a small bowl, cutting in the room temperature butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
When the cake is finished baking the first 30 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle the crumb topping over the cake and tent with foil. Bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centre is firm to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool fully. If using a metal springform pan, run a sharp knife around the inside of the pan to loosen then remove the sides. (*If using a silicon springform pan like this one, you can bypass this last step.)
