 Apple-doodle Coffee Cake

Makes 2 9x5 loaves or 1 13x9 cake

Ingredients:

• Batter

• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• heaping 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 vegetable oil
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 2 cups diced apple

• Topping

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prep your pan(s). If you are makings loaves, spray the tins and line with parchment paper for easy removal. If you are making a cake, you only need to spray or butter the pan. 
2. Prepare the topping by mixing the almond flour and sugar in a bowl and adding the oil. Mix well and break up the clumps by gently rubbing the mix between your hands. When it is done it should feel like slightly damp sand. To test, squeeze it in your hand, it should hold that shape before being easily broken apart. Set the finished topping aside.
3. Now mix the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. 
4. Whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and milk together. 
5. Add the dry ingredient mixture and whisk until just combined with no clumps.
   
6. Now fold in the diced apple before pouring into the pan(s)
7. Liberally sprinkle with the topping.
8. Bake 60-80 minutes for loaves/30-40 minutes for a 13x9 cake or until you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. I suggest placing the loaves on a rack in the middle of the oven or in the lower half to avoid browning the topping too much.
9. Remove from the oven and enjoy! This cake is best warm with a delicious cup of coffee.
