Mother’s Day is on Sunday, less than a week away. Are you ready to spoil mom? I love being spoiled with flowers, cards, and gifts, but my favorite part of Mother’s Day is spending time with my boys. Their sweet hugs, kisses, and snuggles are the best.

I will admit, I do love a good Mother’s Day brunch, so if my boys want to make me breakfast, I won’t argue:) If you want to make your mom’s morning extra special, I suggest you start with our Spring Vegetable Egg Casserole and end with this Almond Coffee Cake. Your mom will feel like a queen!

This Almond Coffee Cake is the BEST coffee cake I have ever eaten…and that is kind of saying a lot since I have eaten a lot of cake in my life:) This is hands down my favorite!

I used Blue Diamond’s Honey Roasted Almonds to create an almond streusel filling and topping for the cake and it is really makes the cake! When you see the cake, you will instantly fall in love with the almond streusel topping. The pleasant surprise is the tunnel of almond streusel filling in the inside of the cake! Double the almond streusel, double the deliciousness!

Treat mom to Almond Coffee Cake on Mother’s Day! She deserves it! And this cake is great for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. And on Mother’s Day, mom can eat cake all day long if she wants. It is totally allowed:)

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Using an stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beat until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined.
• Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
• To make the streusel topping and filling, place the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and stir well with a wooden spoon. Work the butter into the mixture with your fingertips until evenly distributed. Stir in ½ cup of the chopped almonds.
• Pour half of the coffee cake batter into the prepared cake pan, the batter will be thick. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping/filling over the cake batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the filling, spreading gently. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel. Top with the remaining ¼ cup chopped almonds.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cut into squares and serve.
