April 7th
National Coffee Cake Day

Coffee cake is a type of sweet cake that is usually served alongside coffee or tea as a breakfast or snack food. It is typically a single-layer cake that is made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and a variety of other ingredients, such as cinnamon, nuts, or fruit. Coffee cakes often have a crumbly or streusel topping made with butter, flour, and sugar, which gives them a crunchy texture and a rich, buttery flavor. Some coffee cakes also contain a filling made with fruit, jam, or cream cheese. Coffee cake can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, including round, square, or rectangular pans, and can be baked as a whole cake or as individual muffins. It is a popular homemade baked good and is also sold in many coffee shops, bakeries, and grocery stores. Coffee cake is often associated with American cuisine and is a popular breakfast or brunch food, although it is enjoyed in many other parts of the world as well. It is best served warm, and can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect accompaniment to a relaxing morning or afternoon break.
