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.
