Ever wonder why coffee cake is called coffee cake since there isn’t coffee in the cake?
A coffee cake is a single layer cake typically served with coffee (obviously) and is often served on the coffee table while entertaining guests. A coffee cake usually has some kind of streusel topping.
I guess you can say this cake pairs nicely with your morning coffee. Or it is just a good excuse to eat cake in the morning.

Today I made my Cream Cheese Coffee Cake to serve over at Christine’s Kitchen Chronicles. Christine and I met through the Secret Recipe Club and I was thrilled when she invited me to guest post for her today. She has so many fantastic recipes including Apple Cinnamon Truffles and Apple Pie Cookies just to name a few. Don’t those sound great for fall!
Grab a hot cup of coffee and come join me over at Christine’s today.

Hi Kim! So happy to hear you have enjoyed this recipe and I am thrilled to hear that this has been the most popular post for you this far!
Thank you so much for the recipe I have been looking for one like this for years. We use to buy a cream cheese coffee cake years ago at a chain store and they no longer carry it! So very anxious to make. On my agenda for tomorrow! ? Have u ever put a cream cheese type of icing or drizzle on top of it other than the icing sugar and milk. I might try it!
I’m so happy to hear you are going to try this recipe. Please let me know how it turned out for you. I have not tried doing a cream cheese drizzle but I’m sure it would be delicious as well. Enjoy!
Thank you for this recipe, it looks nice and moist. My husband does not like cake, but something with sour cream and cream cheese otta do it. We both love sweets with our coffee in the morning.
Thanks Sharen! This is the perfect cake to enjoy with your morning coffee.
