coffeecake

Brunch bakery item

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

It's usually a single-layer cake with a crumbly streusel topping or swirl of cinnamon, sometimes with fruit or nuts: She brought a coffeecake to the morning meeting.

Despite the name, coffeecake contains no coffee.
