A really nice gift to give yourself on Christmas morning is to prepare your special holiday breakfast the night before. No one wants to spend a beautiful holiday morning in the kitchen. Spend it with your family instead, and choose things to make that will require very little prep and cooking on Christmas day! This Night Before Christmas Coffee cake is one of those make-ahead recipes.
This coffee cake recipe is from my childhood babysitter, Mrs. Laudano. For years, Mrs. Laudano watched my brothers and me on Wednesday nights while my parents went to choir practice at the church. She liked to sit in the same spot on the couch the whole evening, dozing on and off. Every week I hoped she would sleep past our 8:30 pm bedtime, so that we could stay up late and watch TV, but she never did! Mrs. Laudano impressively woke up at 8:29 pm every time.

Aside from being gifted at punctual napping, Mrs. Laudano had the best recipe for homemade coffee cake. She liked to bring a cake to our family on Christmas Eve for us to enjoy the next morning. We looked forward to the way the coffee cake made the house smell while it baked.
This coffee cake is really easy to put together and the best part is that you do everything the night before! Refrigerate the cake overnight and then pop it in the oven while you relax and open presents together.

Can I make the cinnamon coffee cake gluten free? I have always made this as a traditional Christmas breakfast treat. Our daughter is now gluten free for life. Thank you in advance for any help with gluten free assistance.
The American versions have a delicious streusel topping and seem to have mainly originated from Germany. No matter the recipe what they all had in common was being served alongside warm cup of coffee. Hence the name Coffee Cake!
Coffee Cake vs Crumb Cake: These cakes are very similar and are often served in the morning or as a snack alongside a cup of coffee. The batter of both cakes are the same, the difference lies in the cinnamon sugar topping. Coffee cake is topped with a thin streusel layer. Crumb cake has a much thicker and chunkier crumb topping.
We like our coffee cake warm. To reheat: Warm in microwave for 10 second increments until warm. To heat in the oven remove any plastic wrap, then wrap in aluminum foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and heat for 6-8 minutes or until warm.
The one and only Coffee Cake recipe you will ever need. This is by far the most amazing and easy to make Coffee Cake I have ever had. What is not to love, just check those layers: a very tender and buttery cake, that is topped with a flavorful cinnamon filling and after that topped with a creamy cheesecake layer.
This type of cake has its roots from centuries ago. There are many versions and variations of it. The American way is mostly made with a delicious streusel topping and flavored with cinnamon. This dessert is best served for breakfast, alongside a warm cup of coffee. Hence the name Coffee Cake!
Unlike the name suggests, coffee cakes rarely contain coffee, mostly the contain spices, nuts, and feature a streusel or simple glaze topping. The main reason behind its name is because this dessert is a perfect complement to a cup of coffee or latte, and not because it has coffee in it!
The freshly baked coffee cake will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature. While you can store it in the refrigerator, for about 1 week, cover with foil or plastic wrap to prevent the cake from drying out.
This Cranberry Christmas Cake is a fluffy and moist coffee cake with a crackled cinnamon-sugar topping and cranberries throughout. Fresh or frozen fruit can be used making it perfect for the holidays, but also great year round with a cup of tea or coffee.
This is an absolutely perfect cake that takes very little effort to make. No icing, no topping, nothing else is necessary at all. It was reminiscent to me of a coffee cake in texture but much lighter than the typical heavy version.
The holidays are here, and so are the holiday parties! From dessert, parties to holiday coffee hours after church, or informal brunch get-togethers, there are so many opportunities to bake a special holiday treat to share with friends and family. Today I am sharing this Overnight Holiday Streusel Eggnog Coffee Cake that will Make Your Brunch a Breeze. Seriously, you can prepare the cake the night before you want to bake it, so you bring a fresh warm cake to all those holiday parties.
The original recipe recommends placing the streusel on the cake before you refrigerate it. I have found this drastically affects the texture of the streusel. For best results store the streusel and cake separately until you are ready to bake.
Oh my goodness Mindee! Goodness is what this is! I LOVE cinnamon! As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as too much cinnamon! This coffee cake is great for me. However, it may be a tad too sweet for some. I love sweet so it's fine for me, however, I can see how some might think it too sweet. Personally, I love all of the cinnamony, gooey, goodness! I bake a lot of coffee cakes so thank you for a recipe to add to my repertorie.
This coffee cake is a riff on our yellow butter cake, which (not coincidentally) is also my favorite butter cake. The biggest difference is that I use sour cream instead of plain milk to give the cake a tender crumb and an ever-so-slight tanginess.
Bake the coffee cake for 40 to 50 minutes. Bake until the cake feels springy when you gently press the middle and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. If the crumbs start to get too browned and toasted before the cake is done, tent the top of the cake loosely with aluminum foil.
Coffee cake with a middle crumb layer: If you prefer your coffee cake with a layer of cinnamon crumble running through the middle, bake it in an 8x8-inch pan instead. Divide both the batter and the crumble in half and layer it into the pan. Place a baking sheet under the pan during baking just in case the cake rises too much and some of the batter spills over the side. This will need additional baking time.
If you want your cake to be completely covered in frosting, I recommend you double the mascarpone frosting recipe. Personally, with the slight tartness mascarpone brings to the frosting, I love the balance of a partially frosted cake with the richness of the chocolate cake.
Sugared cranberries and rosemary sprigs scream Christmas cake to me and are one of my favorite ways to decorate a holiday cake. To decorate my chocolate coffee cake, I piled my sugar cranberries on top of the mascarpone frosting in a moon shape for an asymmetrical look.

Coffee cake is one of my favorite foods ever. There's nothing quite like it especially with lots of delicious streusel. I love the photos of the recipe cards and recipe box! The recipe sounds absolutely delicious. I'm always excited to try out new coffee cake recipes and I will definitely be making this one. YUM!
Coffee cake is a term given to foods that are intended to be eaten with coffee, or other brunch type foods. Imagine little cakes you would serve at a tea party or having coffee with a group of friends. There is generally not coffee in the actual cake but it is usually a sweet cake with light streusel or icing.
When I first saw this recipe for Swedish almond coffeecake in the King Arthur Flour magazine, my first thought was that this was a Christmas-morning-worthy treat. My second thought was that I needed to try this out right away because I believe that everything with an almond filling is so delicious.
Step 2: Turn the slices on their sides, pulling every other one to the inside of the circle. Let it rise until puffy. Step 3: Brush the coffeecake wreath with egg wash and bake until golden brown. Step 4: A light drizzle of a simple glaze is the last touch, along with a sprinkling of toasted almonds.
This breakfast casserole recipe serve 9. If you have any leftovers, you can keep the coffee cake in the original casserole dish and just cover it with plastic wrap. I put it in the refrigerator and it lasts 4-7 days. I just reheat it in the microwave. You can add more glaze again, if you prefer.
I love this recipe!One question, can it be made in two 6-inch baking pan and mounted like a normal cake using cream cheese frosting?and another question, is this recipe yours? I bought a mini recipe book with a chef and she has this same recipe and sells it as her own.
Hi Sally, love your recipes!Made this coffee cake and it was great!The thing is, it was quite crumbly when I tried to take a piece off the baking dish. I used half whole wheat flour and half AP flour. Also I used milk and not buttermilk. Could this be the problem?In the end, nobody minded the crumbliness 2ff7e9595c
