Toffee Almond Streusel Coffee Cake
With the addition of BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer Toffee Almond Cream, this breakfast cake is the perfect complement to your morning cup of coffee!
So after our trip to South Africa a few weeks ago, one of the things I was most excited to come home to was my coffee. Believe it or not, tea is the hot drink of choice over there. And because tea revolves around a kettle and kettles are everywhere (including hotel rooms), there’s only instant coffee.
The horror!!
And without the focus on coffee, there was only milk and sugar to be added to it. Seriously, I need to drag boxes of BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer with me the next time I go so I can introduce people to the awesomeness. They are seriously missing out.
And I kid you not, when I finally had a freshly brewed cup of coffee with my favorite BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer the first morning I was home, it was maybe the best tasting coffee I’d ever had in my life. And I was SO glad to have my creamer back!
So naturally I had to take my love for it and bake it into a cake. And not just any cake, but one that I could eat with my coffee.
Now this is what breakfast is supposed to look like!
Oh my gosh, this coffee cake is dangerously good. The combination of the flavors is amazing – toffee, almond and cinnamon – oh my! And who doesn’t love a good streusel? Streusel all the things!
It took several tries to get this cake just right. Despite using what seemed like a thick enough batter, I had issues with the streusel sinking a couple times. Fortunately I finally got it just right. I would’ve hated to lose the streusel.
The coffee cake has the BAILEYS® Coffee Creamer Toffee Almond Cream baked right into it, and then again in the glaze. Don’t skimp on that awesome flavor. Then the streusel is layered into the batter, and is on top as well. There’s toffee mixed right into the streusel too. Yum!
One thing to note when making the cake – it may seem like there’s very little cake batter for layering in the streusel, but it actually rises a good bit when it bakes. The two layers of batter will seem thin, but spread them evenly, add the streusel, and it’ll bake right up.
And in case you’re worried that one nine inch coffee cake won’t be enough to satisfy your craving (because that’s possible, it’s that good), you can totally double the recipe and make a 9×13 coffee cake.
Once baked and cooled, add the finishing touch of the glaze and you’ve got the perfect breakfast and compliment to your coffee!

Enjoy!
When the crumb topping sinks in, I get so frustrated! Props to you for getting it absolutely perfect. And that glaze, and the softness of the cake. Loving it!
Oh holy deliciousness! Love the flavors of this. Perfect treat to start the day!
Holy cow what a cake! That definitely looks like my kind of coffee cake, with all that streusel and glaze 🙂
Question?!?! I want to make this for Christmas..can it be frozen??
P.S. I LOVE your creations!!
I would think it’d be fine to freeze. Just wrap it well and thaw it in the fridge.
You make the most beautiful cakes! This one is no exception. Love this toffee-almond combo!!
Seriously. BAILEYS Coffee Creamer AND Streusel?! This is what my dreams are made of. I want to make this..and not share ONE PIECE. Pinned!
This looks amazing! Your pictures are so gorgeous. I actually made something very similar to this (I’ll be sharing it next month) and everyone LOVED it!
I think I could live off that streusel topping.. it looks AMAZING.
Omigosh! This looks insanely delicious. Definitely to die for 🙂
Ok I have just jumped straight over from Twitter to see more of this cake. Wow! Double Wow! I shouldn’t even like it as I’m not keen on toffee – but I’d have some of this, more than one slice. In fact I could do serious damage to a whole cake. It’s so beautiful and tempting. I’ve never been able to get hold of Baileys coffee creamer – I will start with Amazon & hunt it down. I need this cake in my life. Thank you for such a gorgeous recipe. Sammie https://www.feastingisfun.com
toffee almond Baileys is my fav but can’t find it in my town in Missouri anymore. Was told it was discontinued. Where can I get it??? Please
Hmm, it may not be available anymore. If you’d still like to make the coffee cake, you could replace the creamer with milk and use a little more almond extract – probably 1 tsp.
Thank the heavens that you got that streusel to work because no one wants to see you lose that divine streusel. I’m not a coffee drinker myself. . .but I indulge in many cups of tea daily (why living in Africa suited me well). . .and I definitely will be pairing this beauty with my cup of tea. BTW. . .missing South Africa myself. I hope you had a fantastic time. I can’t wait to go back.
This was a HUGE hit at Easter brunch. I don’t like using coffee creamer so I left that out and used 1/2 cup sour cream. I also added 1 teas vanilla to make up the flavor.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Can you use a 1/4 cup of bailey liquor and 1/4 milk instead of the creamer?
You could certainly try it. I would think that would be fine.
When you say “then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling” does this mean you take it out of the pan when you do this? Probably dumb question.
Thx
Yes, I remove it from the pan and place it on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
I don’t take alcohol, would the alternative be heavy cream for the glaze and the cake? Regarding the toffee bits, would it be hard toffee or soft, please advise.
Baileys Coffee Creamer is a brand of coffee creamer – it’s non alcoholic. If you can’t find it, you could try a regular almond creamer. I use the baking toffee bits – they are firm.
the coffee creamer IS disconnected. so in order to have the same flavor you are saying to increase the almond extract to one teaspoon and replace creamer with milk using same measurement?
i just want to make sure i don’t mess this up. I love anything almond-y
Hey there! Just wondering what the best way to store this cake is if I made it a day in advance? Fridge, counter, covered? Thanks!
I’d leave it covered on the counter.
