Coffee cake isn’t made with coffee but it made to be eaten with coffee. Many people like to enjoy a cup of coffee after dinner and with dessert. This coffee cake is perfect to enjoy while drinking coffee whether it is after dinner or if it is as a morning treat.

Most coffee cakes have a streusel topping and sometimes there is a streusel layer inside of the cake. If someone didn’t want the topping or didn’t love something that is in, you can skip the topping.
