Does coffee cake have coffee in it?
No, it generally doesn't. These types of breakfast cakes got the name coffee cake because they make a great dish to serve with coffee.
How do you keep coffee cake fresh?
Cover your completely cooled cake with saran wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out. For maximum shelf life you can store it in the fridge.
