    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this recipe.

    What makes a coffee cake a coffee cake?

    The streusel topping! Coffee cakes are topped with streusel and sometimes a delicious drizzle of icing.

    Is there a difference between coffee cake and crumb cake?

    Once again, the topping plays a part. Both have a streusel topping, but coffee cake has less, while crumb cake has more topping and less cake.

    How do you keep a coffee cake moist?

    Overbaking will dry out your coffee cake. Make sure you follow the recipe closely.

    Can you freeze coffee cake?

    Yes. Just wrap it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.

    How do you defrost a coffee cake?

    Unwrap and thaw on the counter until it is room temperature.

    How long is refrigerated cake good for?

    You can refrigerate cake for a few days in an airtight container.

    📖 Variations

    We recommend that you try our recipe for the first time just as it is written for the best results, because that is how the recipe has been tested.

    However, the next time you make it, you might consider one of these different ways of making this great recipe.

    • Instead of all the individual spices, you can use 2 teaspoons of this Apple Pie Spice Recipe, which includes cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, ginger and cardamom.
    • The slivered almonds can be substituted for chopped walnuts or pecans.
    • Alter the streusel topping by replacing half of the all-purpose flour with quick cooking oats.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    This makes a great addition to any brunch menu, but works just as well for dessert, too. I like it for the kids especially - it makes a nice snack that's not all sugar, and has a little bit of fruit in it.
