"A great tasting coffee cake using almond flour, finely ground unsalted almonds. I'm sure you could make this cake using regular sugar as well. I sometimes use egg whites, or Egg Beaters to cut down on the fat content."

I made this for the first time today, and it is DELICIOUS!!! Being on a low carb diet is sometimes challenging, especially when you want something sweet. This definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. I will make it again, for sure!!

<p>Hi! I'm very fortunate to be married to my best friend! My husband and I own our own business, and I work there 3-4 days a week. We have 4 children, a girl and three boys...all out of the nest. Our daughter is Nolan'sMom here at Zaar. We are so blessed to have two little grandsons; Nolan and Blake, and two little grandaughters; Evangeline and Willow. Our daughter-in-law is run for your life here at zaar. Us girls all enjoy trying out recipes and sharing the results when we're all together! Some of my hobbies are jogging, biking, areobics, reading, and of course trying out new recipes on Zaar. My DH and I love to go out on dates to our favorite resturant, or just go out for coffee. I just recently got a new digital camera, and am trying to figure out how to take good pictures of the food I make. It's more complicated that I thought it would be!</p>
