Almond Coffee Cake
- 2 tbsp Plain flour, sifted
- ½ cup Icing sugar ~ 55g 40g
- ¼ cup Almond meal (ground almond) ~ 30g
- 2 tsp Instant coffee powder
- 40g Butter, melted
- 2 Egg whites ~ 80g
- ¼ cup Kahlua coffee liqueur
- Preheat oven to 180C (335F). Place the flour, sugar, almond meal, coffee, butter and egg whites in a bowl and mix well combine with a hand whisk.
- Spoon mixture into 6 lightly greased or use cooking spray on medium size muffin pan or 12 mini muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
- Drizzle with the liqueur (about ½ tablespoon on each cake) and set aside for 2 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool.

Look how simple it is. Just mix the ingredients together and bake it!

Ann, I cant find almond meal at supermart. Is it ground almond?
Hi Codyukie, sorry… In the west, they called almond meal. Actually is ground almond. I'll update in my recipe.
Thanks Ann, I guess it must be ground almond and bought it. Now waiting for the chance to bake.
Looks easy, I want to try. Need to buy almond meal first. Tks!
Oh my, Ann! Mine didn't turn out well….sad! I doubled the portions but still get only 6pcs. The cakes peaked and cracked at the top. I poured 1.2tbsp of liquor in each cake and it overflowed! I had to loosen the edges of the cake so that the liquor would seep through. Now my cakes are so bitter – they are like liquored cakes!! What could I have done wrong? I used a 6-hole muffin tray. Please help! Thanks, Ann!
Ai Li,
Wonder how big is your pan.
This cake is suitable for small muffin pan. I think you have over baked that was why the top cracked.
hey dear, this is a liqueur cake, not ordinary cake lol!
Ann, what is the gm weight of 2 tbsp of plain flour? This is my next "target" to bake. Thanks
Ai Li, I used the measuring spoon to level the plain flour. No need to weigh at all.
Thank you, Ann! Hopefully mine will turn out as gorgeous as yours! I have absolute trust in the taste!
Hi Ann,thanks for the quick response. So is almond meal = almond flour and can be bought from Phoon Huat? Thanks again!
Yes, you can get at any bakery supply shops.
Hi Ann, yes its me again. I am simply going through all your recipes…..following you everywhere and asking questions. Hope you don't find me a nuisance :> By the way, almond meal is it almond flour? I can get it at PH? Can I use a 6-hole or 12-hole muffin tray for these cakes? This will be another hit with my husband especially. He loves everything liqueur and coffee combined. Thanks, again!
Hi Ai Li, Is OK, I really don't mind 🙂 This is a very small cakes, 6 hole muffin tray would be good enough unless you want to double the recipe. You can see I only baked 9 donut shapes out of 12.
These are both adorable and beautiful and I bet absolutely delicious. They are being featured at Bizzy Bakes. Bizzy and I thank you for sharing with us.
What a clever way to bake these, they look gorgeous!!
Hi Ann,
I'm Pauline and am a novice cook. I would like to know the weight of 2 tbsp of plain flour of your almond coffee cake. Thks for sharing this simple recipe with us.
Hi Pauline, I didn't measure the plain flour. Just level spoon the flour will do. Please take note this recipe is not suitable to use a large mould or muffin cup. It will cause the cake too dense because of little flour is used.
Ann, what's the weight of 2 Tbs of plain flour used in your almond coffe cake. Thks. for sharing this easy recipe. Am a nivice cook and thought of trying out this recipe
Ann, this is not too complicating to make, I think I can handle this:D Whether I can make mine as pretty as yours is another story.
Quay Po, This is an easy recipe and you got good photography skills 🙂
Hi Ann, not sure whether you've seen my reply that relates to your question about how to link your Donna Hay's dish on the link code. What I said is that I saw you have linked this posting successfully with others, so I think you must have found out b4 I my reply. Cheers
Thanks Jessie. I coming over to check the link 🙂

I like the idea of almond meal and Kahlua…so cute how you decorated the little cakes 🙂
Hope you are having a great week Ann!

The cakes are so pretty!!! Ann, you are my idol forever! 🙂 Heehee…
This is such an "adult" cake. Ann's recommendation must be good. Would love to try this asap since I have almond meal at home (bought for macaron trial).
Realize the cake use egg white only.
很特别的小蛋糕,一定充满了咖啡酒香 ^_^
Oh, I am drooling… These are little beauties! I love how elegant they look, and the combination of flavours is delicious 🙂
Dear Ann,
Looks really awesome especially with that dallop of icing on the top.
Elegant cakes. Staring at it made me drooling and hungry. Great photos! =)
Have you ever felt so hungry and wanted a certain food so bad that you've drooled
your cake is so pretty with the swirls, and I like Chris cheddar loaf too. You ladies are good 🙂
So pretty, Ann. I love these little almond treasures. You are such a talent and I would not be able to resist eating them all.
Oh, these look fabulous…just a couple bites of pure deliciousness. I bet the Kahlua keeps them extra moist…and that beautiful star of chocolate icing is the perfect crown 🙂
Hmmm…fancy the essence of liqueur entering my blood stream in the morning….sorry, I was thinking about breakfast when I saw these cakes. ;p
Such a pretty dessert to look at, Ann! I like how you decorate icing on the top. Never seen one like this before. 🙂
And you are lucky to have a friend who's a great baker and brings this to your home!
sooo nice!
Oh wow, your cake looks intensely infused with coffee! Love the colour and the cream over the top…perfect desert anytime. 😉
Thanks much for your info Ann. Mine is written in Burmese and that's why you are not able to see it…I am a regular reader of your blog and inspired by your lovely recipes.
Oh I see (^-^) You're always welcome here. Please feel free to browse around.
Your food always looks so good and these cakes are no exception. If I had all the ingredients I would make them right now.

Dear Ann, May I know where can I purchase Kahlua coffee liqueur? Any other replacement would you recommend? Thank you. 🙂
Evy, Kahlua liqueur can be bought at most supermarket like Cold Storage and Carrefour but it is very expensive, around S$60 for 750ml. You can try Isetan, they might have miniature one. Best to buy Kahlua at Duty free shop at the airport. Or you can try adding rum into the cake.
BTW I just went to your site but don't know why cannot read your recipe at all.
很喜欢咖啡口味的蛋糕:)
下个月要去旅行,一定会胖:(
所以现在来你们家过过眼福,嘻嘻~
Cass,
你要去哪里旅行?记得拍多一点照片跟我们分享 *-*
i love the idea of drizzling the kahlua over the baked cakes..that must be real nice! Very pretty cakes as usual, you're really good! shall hop over to chris now
very like financiers – look super ! I love financiers !
These look absolutely gorgeous, and I have a weakness for almonds. I can onl imagine how wonderfully subtly sweet these must be!
oh my goodness! I made these some years back with baileys! Your presentation is fantastic- so much better than mine!
Daphne, Thank you! I love using baileys too 🙂
Yummy! Look good Ann!
Thanks Jane!
Hi Ann, I think I've seen this recipe b4 in DH's website! Great to know that youa re joining us with this DH's blog hop event in this month! Really tempted to try. I always like to collect simple recipes, hahaha!
PS:By looking at your 3rd photo has reminded me that my friend has given me a plate similar to yours in the picture. I'll go to dig it out. Can't really recall as to where have I put it!
Jessie, Really? I must check more recipes on DH's website!
DH's magazines are very expensive here, around S$12 but we can sometime buy those outdated ones at very cheap price – 3 for S$10… can save for monies for other books 😀
Most of my plates for photography were bought from Daiso. They always cheap and pretty 🙂
100% love this post, I really love coffee and i also want to make this for my husband and kids. its the best forever. thank you 🙂

Shirley, I hope you'll try to make this. You'll love it.
Kahlua liqueur on the coffee cake simply taste awesome, I like the way you decorate the cake with cream on top.
Ann, I love the combined flavour of almond and coffee. The little cakes look so cute and I like to look at the toppings.
Li Shuan, Thank you 🙂 This cake is really delicious and so easy to make. Hope you try making them one day.
Ann , these looks really delicious ! Love the gorgeous brown color and the shape of the choco icing 😀
Anne, I think adding ganache cream with kahlua liqueur is very nice too.
Almonds and coffee are a truly amazing combo! Being the coffee lover that I am, I am sure to eat way more than I should, so will make when i have company 🙂 I shall try these and very soon! Thanks Anncoo!

Jeannie, Oh really? Must be very interesting recipe.
Wow, your almond thing really looks stunning to me. Must be yummy. Really nice to cook, bake and blog hop with you guys…it was fun!
Angeline, you can join the fun too! 🙂
Kahlua liqueur! Aiyo these must be really good. With that little detail of cream on it, brought it to a higher level I must say.
Thank you Edith. You'll enjoy this small cake if you like Kahlua liqueur and so easy to make. Have a try 🙂
