A type of cake or pastry flavored with coffee or served alongside coffee, often with a crumb topping or streusel.
From coffee + cake. The term emerged in American and European cooking traditions, describing sweet baked goods designed to complement the drinking of coffee.
Coffeecake is one of those food names that doesn't necessarily describe what's inside—you don't need coffee flavor to make a proper coffeecake, you just need the right texture and structure to pair well with hot coffee. It's more about the eating experience than the ingredients.
