Coffee Cake Recipes

Coffee cakes are delicious quick breads made from batter that produces a tender, dry, flaky cake with a slightly sweet taste. The name refers to being served as an accompaniment to coffee, as the cakes themselves do not require coffee as ingredients, and in fact rarely have coffee in them. Coffee cakes can be made very plain and simple, or be filled with fruits, nuts and spices and topped with a sugary glaze.

The cakes are made from batter and not dough, so they do not require time for rising. The batter, in most cases will be baked immediately upon creation to insure consistent results. Some batters may handle easier if slightly chilled before use. Pay close attention to oven temperatures and always preheat ovens to the specified temperature so the high heat can properly activate ingredients as they begin baking. Some recipes require special baking pans, such as a spring-form pan, typically used in the making of cheesecakes, or Bundt pan.
