Strawberry Crumb Coffee Cake and Day 10

I made the most incredible dairy free, low sugar strawberry coffee crumb cakes! EVER! No joke! I also used whole wheat flour, because I don't have the fancy gluten free ones. But I think in the future I will attempt to make it grain free.

Recipe:
Filling Ingredients-

1/3 cup stevia
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 cups sliced strawberries

Cake Ingredients-
1 cup white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup stevia
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cold non-dairy butter
2 eggs
1 cup alternative milk (almond, rice, coconut, soy) + 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia

Topping Ingredients-
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons wheat flour
1/4 cup cold nondairy butter

Directions-
Preheat oven to 365

In a sauce pan combine all filling ingredients, bring to a boil stirring rapidly. Then turn off the stove and let set in pan to thicken up.

In large bowl mix dry ingredients for cake; flour, stevia, sugar, baking powder, baking soda. Then cut in butter to make a crumbly mix. In separate bowl, mix wet ingredients; eggs, milk, vanilla extract and liquid stevia. Then combine with dry ingredients.

Spray grease a 9x13 baking dish. Pour 2/3 of the cake batter into the baking dish. It will be sticky, so you will have to do some finagling to spread it around. Then spoon 3/4 of the filling mix on top of the cake batter in the baking dish. Pour remaining 1/4 filling in to the bowl with the remaining 1/3 of the cake batter. Mix well. Pour this on top of the filling layer and carefully spread around.

Next make the topping. Mix all ingredients by pinching in the butter into the flour/sugar mix. Then crumble over the top of the cake.

You can add crushed walnuts, almonds, peanuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, etc. into the topping mix. about 1/4 cup.


Bake in oven at 365 for 47 minutes. Serve warm. YUMM!!!

I hope you try it! It is super yummy!

On another note; I am going on day 10 of no Facebook. And it is going well. I still have those moments of desire to reactivate it. But at the study Sunday night, I realized that I will be needing to choose God daily over this vice. To some, this will definitely seem silly. But it isn't.

Anything you put before God, that has been created, is an idol. God, the creator of all, is worthy of my whole heart and focus. Anything created that I put in front of my Creator is idolatry. And I know there are probably other idols in my life that I am unaware of at the moment. But I am feeling closer to Jesus now than 10 days ago.

I need to get better at reading the Bible daily. I do a few studies, devotionals, etc., but I don't really read the Bible. In Joshua 24, Joshua says to choose your god you will serve. You can't not serve anything. You serve God, or money, or trees, or people, or material things. But you will ultimately choose a god to serve. I choose God the Creator!

  1. Could I use Vanilla or pineapple instead of Strawberry? I was just wondering, I don't have strawberries actually but lots of pineapple. I loved this recipe. I think I should wait until this weekend for strawberries. Thanks for posting! It's really a great help.

    1. I imagine the filling options are limitless. Probably could do a pecan filling with brown sugar and dairy free butter, a vanilla custard like filling. I don't know how pineapple would work unless you just laid the raw pineapple on the first layer of cake and then went from there.

      Let me know how it goes!!

      Thanks for reading!
