Coffee cake is an American dessert that can come in many different flavors and is meant to be enjoyed with coffee. Unlike birthday cakes, coffee cake is not frosted. Instead it’s a light cake with a dense crumb. It’s the fillings and/or add-ins where the imagination runs wild. Some have a jammy compote filling; others have chocolate chips.
