What is National Coffee Cake Day?

Another reason to linger over a cup of joe is on April 7th, National Coffee Cake Day. We can also break out some of our favorite recipes and deliver a heartwarming, home-baked dish to a friend or two. Coffee cakes are extremely easy to make and bring a lot of joy to both the baker and receiver, as many bakers know.

Coffee cake is a cake that is meant to be enjoyed while sipping a cup of coffee, perhaps for breakfast or during a coffee break. They're both an excellent excuse for a visit and a conversation starter.

There is no coffee in the coffee cake itself, and it does not contain any coffee. They are usually single-layer cakes made in square, rectangle, or ring-shaped pans. Many coffee cakes are often flavored with cinnamon, seeds, nuts, or fruits, such as blueberries or apples. They may have a crumb topping or a glaze drizzle.
