Coffee cake is already delish on its own or eaten with a cup of coffee, but what if you add the coffee right into the cake for a two-​for experience? You get something that I gave myself a major pat on the back for having come up with, and I trust you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. Sure, I didn’t invent it (internet searches do indeed yield a few results), but I do believe this is the healthiest one out there!  I use espresso, which you don’t even need to brew right when you make the cake. If it’s easier for you to buy it and store it in the fridge for a day or two, that works perfectly well. To give this recipe a more classic texture, there’s an optional streusel topping. I think the cake is rich enough without it, but streusel certainly doesn’t ever hurt things!

Excerpted with permission from Wake/Sleep: What to Eat and Do For More Energy and Better Sleep. Filled with recipes for food and DIY health and beauty treatments, Wake/Sleep is two books in one: one half has advice and tips on staying alert and energetic, but turn the book over and discover the best ways to calm down, relax, and fall asleep.

Further Food Commentary:

This coffee coffee cake sounds like the perfect boost for busy weekday mornings! It sounds silly, but have you ever thought to add coffee to your coffee cake? The espresso added will give you that extra pep in your step you need to get the day started and with only 9g of net carbs, this is a perfect breakfast for those following a ketogenic or low carb diet!
