Christmas Edition: Almond & Coconut Coffee Cake

I made this dessert a few weeks ago when I had my family over for dinner. This cake is deliciously moist and is on the heavier side and make the perfect dessert after dinner or simply a coffee cake for afternoon tea. This cake was a hit with my family and I would love to share it with you 😍
