Coffee Cake with Coffee
If you ever wanted to have a coffee cake with coffee baked inside then look no further! This soft and moist coffee cake recipe has a coffee flavored filling, coffee streusel, coffee icing AND coffee in the batter. It has most and soft coffee cake layers and is perfect for breakfast (or dessert!).
I have loads of coffee cake recipes here and the number one question I get asked whenever I share it is “where’s the coffee?” For a long time I didn’t get why people were asking and then I realized: people search coffee cake as in they want a cake that has actual coffee in it and they get coffee cake, the breakfast delight we Americans love to eat with a cup of coffee. So I decided to combine the two and made a coffee cake with coffee recipe!
