Equipment

  • 1 9x5 inch loaf cake pan

Ingredients

For the coconut flour loaf cake

  • 1/2 cup (40 grams) coconut flour organic
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) butter or coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup (100 grams) honey raw
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder organic
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract optional

For the cinnamon cream cheese swirl

  • 8 oz (200 grams) organic cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and melt the butter
  • Make the coconut flour loaf cake batter: combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and combine. Add liquid ingredients and mix with a wisk until the batter is smooth, but without overmixing. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquids
  • Make the cinnamon cream cheese swirl: combine cream cheese, coconut sugar, egg, and cinnamon and mix with a spoon until all ingredients are combined
  • Assemble the cake: pour abour 1/2 of the coconut flour cake batter into a 9x5 inch greased or parchment lined loaf cake pan; spoon about half of the cinnamon cream cheese swirl over the batter and then repeat with the remaining cake batter and cinnamon cream cheese swirl. Use a butter knife to create a swirl
  • Bake the cake for 45 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave the cake in the warm oven for at least 20 minutes or until cool

Notes

For the best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before making the cake.
Trick for melting the butter: cut the butter into small pieces and place it into the same pan where you’re going to bake your cake, and put it in the oven as it warms up while you gather and measure the other ingredients. This will save you time and you won’t have anything extra to clean, plus the pan will be greased!
