Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • It’s healthier – if you’re into Paleo recipes, you know that baking Paleo is an art (even more of an art than conventional baking). While this recipe was developed to be Paleo, know that if you don’t care about it being Paleo (you just want a pumpkin spice coffee cake, darn it!), it is equally loved by Paleo and non-Paleo folks alike.
  • It’s cozy – combining pumpkin spice and coffee cake truly makes for the coziest fall-inspired recipe ever.

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake Recipe Ingredients

The list may look long, but if you’re a baker, I bet you’ve got several of the ingredients on hand already. If not, they are easy to find in any grocery store! Find ingredient notes (including substitutions and swaps) below.

Ingredients for pumpkin cold brew bundt cake have been arranged, in a variety of bowls, on a light brown background.
  • Almond flour – don’t sub the almond flour for regular, all-purpose flour or coconut flour here. If you are looking for an almond alternative, though, know that cashew flour and hazelnut flour WILL work.
  • Pumpkin pie spice – if you’re looking for something cozy and fall-inspired, but pumpkin spice isn’t your *favorite*, know that you can definitely substitute the pumpkin pie spice for cinnamon.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a bundt cake pan with butter, ghee, or coconut oil.

Step 2: Add all of the dry cake batter ingredients (to include almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut sugar, spice mix, baking soda, and salt) together in a bowl and whisk until all clumps are broken up and it’s fully incorporated.

Step 3: In a separate large bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients (to include the melted coconut oil, eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice) together until even.

Step 4: Whisk in about ½ cup of the dry ingredients into the wet at a time. Continue to add ½ cup at a time until the dry is fully incorporated into the wet.

Step 6: While the cake is baking, add all the ingredients for the crumble together (to include the coconut sugar, almond flour, spice mix, and room-temperature butter). Using either a pastry cutter or your fingers, thoroughly mix the ingredients together – making sure the butter is evenly distributed throughout. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the icing (cold brew and powdered sugar). If the icing is too thick, add additional cold brew until you get your desired consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this coffee cake be made egg-free?

It can! In fact, we tested a TON of different egg substitutes in several different baked goods, took all kinds of notes, and then laid it all out for you in this super helpful guide to egg-free baking. For cakes and cupcakes, we recommend subbing in plain Greek yogurt (¼ cup of yogurt per egg) – Greek yogurt made for fluffy and slightly crisp on the outside cakes that had a really delicious flavor and held together really well.

What makes coffee cake different from cake?

The streusel/crumble that dons the top of this cake is what really makes it a “coffee” cake vs. a regular cake. Instead of a thick frosting on a regular cake (like this spice cake recipe), coffee cakes are topped with a crumble.

    Hey there Cassy Joy-you have your prep and cook time in hours 🙂

  2. I made this a few weeks ago and it was a HUGE hit so I’m making it again the Thursday. YUM!!!

  3. I made these as 18 mini bundt cakes and they did not disappoint. Freezing the leftovers to take to a halloween party next Saturday.

  4. Do you have any suggestions for replacing almond flour? I am allergic to almonds wondering if you have a suggestion?
    Thanks!

  5. I LOVE coffee cake! And I love those memories of your friend’s mom – I hope my kids’ friends remember me the same way – I love making special treats for visitors!

  6. What can you use in place of arrowroot flour? Or is it worth it to buy some? Do a lot of your other recipes call for the arrowroot flour?

  7. So sorry! I was all set to make this but there is way too much sugar in it even if it is coconut sugar. I can’t even imagine making this with brown sugar. Maybe Paleo but over the moon for sugar content.

  8. This looks DIVINE! Once I restock my arrowroot and get some organic powdered sugar I am so making this.

  9. Looks so so yummy!! Did you try this with other sugars besides coconut? I’m thinking a light brown sugar would add really yummy caramel-y flavor but I don’t want to make it more dense. What do you think?

    1. I haven’t tried this with anything other than coconut, but I think brown sugar could be an easy substitute. I’d love to know how it comes out if you give it a try!

  10. Our beautiful recipe, very well explained and I believe it is not difficult to do, I will take the risk in the kitchen now, thanks for sharing!
