• Coffee cake is a breakfast cake that is often served with coffee. Since coffee nearly always accompanies this cake, it does not necessarily need to contain coffee as a main ingredient. Coffee cakes can be pound cakes, sponge cakes, or crumble cakes. Some coffee cakes are recognized for their Streusel topping, a crumbly, sugary topping that is spread over the cake before baking. Some coffee cakes are on the dry side, as they are meant to accompany coffee, or perhaps tea.
