Life is short. EAT CAKE FOR BREAKFAST! Healthy cake that is!
Who doesn't love cake? So why not swap the traditional "unhealthy" ingredients and make a healthier cake that can be enjoyed as breakfast!
This delicious cake is infused with chamomile tea and sweetened with the perfect mix of coconut sugar and honey. I used almond flour because, well... It's almond cake! I love the dense texture that almond flour gives this style of cake.
I like to enjoy this cake while sipping tea or on the weekend for breakfast (best momma EVER). The cream cheese frosting is optional but definitely recommended for entertaining! Be sure to have fun decorating this beauty!
Life needs to be celebrated, what better way is there to celebrate than with a beautiful, healthy cake!
*For double layer cake, double the recipe.
Bon Appetit!

8 inch Cake pan or 6 inch cake pan (may need to increase the cook time)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water, hot (be careful not to evaporate)
- 3 chamomile tea bags
- 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- zest of 1 medium sized lemon
- 1 8oz package of cream Cheese (room temperature)
- 2 tbsps honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Cream Cheese Frosting:
Directions
Start by adding the chamomile tea bags to the hot water. Allow it to seep for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8 inch cake pan with coconut oil.
To the boiled chamomile water, add the lemon juice, honey, and coconut oil, stir well and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, add the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt, combine.
Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient bowl, stir to combine.
Stir in the lemon zest to the cake mixture.
Now pour the cake mixture into the prepared cake pain and bake for 40-50 minutes.
Allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the cake pan and then remove it from the pan onto to a wire rack. To remove the cake, I turn the pan upside down and gently tap it.
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting. Add the cream cheese, 2 tbsp of honey and lemon to a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix until creamy (about 2 minutes).
Once the cake has cooled decorate with the frosting!
Enjoy!
