Coffee cake history
Coffee cake has a long history, it is thought to have originated in Germany as a sweet bread, rather than a cake. But it wasn’t until 1879 that the term “coffee cake” became commonly used.
Did you know there’s a difference between British Coffee cake and American Coffee cake?
In the UK coffee cake is two layers of coffee flavoured sponge, sandwiched together with coffee flavoured buttercream icing and coffee flavoured icing on top. Traditional additions to this are walnuts, to create a coffee and walnut cake.
In America coffee cake is a term used for a sweet cake that is enjoyed with tea or coffee. It’s a single layer cake made with either fruit or cinnamon that has more of a bread like texture as it’s made with baking soda (or powder) or yeast.
