Author Notes
My maple oat scone recipe is a nice low carb, no sugar alternative to typical coffee shop fare. So I looked around for a coffee cake or crumb cake alternative. And the one at the Swerve site was just about perfect. I doubled the amount of the streusel, increased the baking powder, cut the salt, and used an 8x8 baking dish to make regular pieces rather than a loaf pan.

3/4 cup

Directions
-
Pecan Streusel: In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, Swerve Sweetener, cinnamon, and pecans. Add melted butter and fold until mixture is wet and crumbly.
-
Cake: Preheat oven to 325F and swirl a little melted butter a 8x8 baking dish (I used glass).
-
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, whey protein, baking powder, and Swerve.
-
In a second, large bowl, add the slightly cooled butter to the sour cream, and blend until smooth. Add each egg, one at a time, and beat into the mixture with a wooden spoon, and then beat in the vanilla extract.
-
Add the dry ingredients in three portions, blending and folding but not over mixing.
-
Spread half the batter in the prepared dish and top with half of the streusel. Spread remaining batter over top and top with remaining streusel.
-
Tent cake with foil and bake 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20 minutes, until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool completely. I recommend refrigerating before slicing into it (particularly for that first, hard to remove piece!).
