Almond Coffee Cake

Looking for something sweet but a little different than your usual go to? These Almond Coffee Cakes taste a little like sugary cinnamon rolls and give you the perfect excuse to have something sweet for breakfast.

Almond Cinnamon Rolls

The original recipe for these bundles of sugary sweetness can be found in Gooseberry Patch’s Garfield…Recipes with Cattitude!.

It caught my eye because I love me some almond flavor in my sweets and I am a big coffee cake fan… Almond Coffee Cake? A no brainer here!

I did two things a little different than the original… shocker, right? Long time readers know that I hardly ever leave a recipe alone 😉

The first thing I did was to make this “coffee cake” into “mini coffee cakes” with my trusty Brownie Pan. I did this both for portion control and serving at a party.

Secondly, the recipe calls for the butter to be used as a garnish… which is probably why my taste testers thought these tasted more like cinnamon rolls than coffee cake… but yummy cinnamon rolls none-the-less 😉

I did bake them with a pat of light butter on each cake… but next time, I am going to go ahead and make a traditional crumble with the butter, sugar and cinnamon. (This change is reflected in the recipe below.)

My guess is next time they will be a little bit more coffee-cake-like. Regardless, the flavor is really GOODe so we will be trying it again!

Note: Make sure you use Pure Almond Extract… no imitators please 😉
