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.

    Oh my goodness Mindee! Goodness is what this is! I LOVE cinnamon! As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as too much cinnamon! This coffee cake is great for me. However, it may be a tad too sweet for some. I love sweet so it's fine for me, however, I can see how some might think it too sweet. Personally, I love all of the cinnamony, gooey, goodness! I bake a lot of coffee cakes so thank you for a recipe to add to my repertorie.

    Mindee, I?m curious about why you add the salt and baking powder directly to the creamed butter mixture rather then incorporating them into the flour and adding them that way. Is there a reason behind this? I don't recall ever seeing it done this way in the past.

      I do that just for convenience. Then I don't have to use another bowl to whisk the salt and baking powder into the flour.

      I not going to recommend you do. I haven’t tried it and I am concerned it would end up being really heavy.
