With so much said about this type of cakes, let me add some interesting details about coffe cakes:
How did coffee cake evolve?
American Coffee cake—also referred to as gugelhupf or Austrian German: kaffekuchen—evolved from other sweet dishes from Vienna. In the 17th century, Northern/Central Europeans are thought to have come up with the idea of eating sweet cakes while drinking coffee.
Why do they call it a coffee cake?
It was not until after the Civil War, when the impact of German coffee traditions grew more pronounced, that the term ‘coffee cake’ became commonplace in America. Americans initially used it to indicate a chemically leavened cake incorporating brewed coffee into the batter.
Does coffee cake expire?
The shelf life of your coffee cake depends primarily on one factor: how it’s stored. If stored in a sealed container or plastic wrap at room temperature, you can expect it to last up to three to four days.
Can I freeze a coffee cake?
All cakes freeze beautifully for up to twelve months, either whole or sliced. The cake is best defrosted by opening the heavy-duty freezer bag in which it was frozen and storing the cake at room temperature for a few hours. It will taste as fresh as just baked!
