Coffee cake is named for the coffee that you serve it with, and it doesn’t usually have coffee in it. It can be disappointing when you learn that fact if you love the taste of coffee. If that’s the case for you, you may love this recipe. It has coffee in the cake and in the glaze, and you can even add it to the streusel filling! Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee can add flavors of chocolate, nuts, and caramel to each component of the cake. 

An Elegant Cake for Family or Company

This cake is beautiful. It comes out in a lovely round bundt shape, and you can see the appetizing glaze on top. Once you slice it, you can see the streusel filling with a dark tone due to the coffee. 

This cake has coffee in three places:

• In the cake
• In the glaze
• In the streusel

It’s truly a cake for coffee lovers! Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee adds great flavor throughout.

How to Serve Your Coffee Coffee Cake

Coffee cake is designed to be served with coffee. You can have it for breakfast with your usual cup (or two) of coffee on a regular weekday or leisurely weekend. Or, have it for brunch with your family or when you have company. 

You can also serve the cake with a little something else, whether for breakfast or dessert. These are a few nice accompaniments.

• Fruit, such as strawberries, sliced banana, or peach slices
• With ricotta or cream cheese
• With peanut or almond butter
• With ice cream or chocolate sauce

And now, here’s the recipe.
