Ruby Chocolate Coffee Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Grease a 20cm (8 inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to whisk until the ingredients are well combined.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, ruby chocolate chips, large eggs, and almond milk.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

   Tip: Make sure the batter is evenly distributed in the pan.

6. 6

   To make the streusel topping, combine the confectioners' sugar, almond meal, and unsalted almonds in a small bowl.

   Tip: Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the mixture until it's crumbly.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

   Tip: Make sure to cover the entire surface of the cake.

8. 8

   Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the cake while it's baking, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.

9. 9

   Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help the cake to set and make it easier to remove from the pan.

    Once the cake is cool, slice it into thick slices and serve.
