coffee cake

Cinnamon breakfast sweet

Coffee cake is a sweet cake meant to accompany coffee, typically eaten at breakfast or brunch.

American coffee cake usually features a crumb topping or streusel and may include cinnamon, nuts, or fruit.

Despite the name, coffee cake contains no coffee—it's cake served with coffee, not flavored by it.
