One sort of odd misconception says that coffee cakes have some type of coffee in them. This isn’t generally the case, but someone could technically make a coffee cake that did use coffee as an ingredient. It just wouldn’t be normal to do so and the coffee cakes that you find available for purchase at stores don’t contain coffee.
This seems to be an American or Canadian term as in other places a ‘coffee cake’ is just that – a cake that includes coffee in the ingredients and has the lovely taste of coffee. This can be enhanced with a coffee icing (either smooth or more ‘fluffy’ like a frosting).
Originally coffee cakes came from the Viennese kaffekuchen and were made with yeast, but today most American coffee cakes are similar to quick bread. Coffee cakes are usually made with baking powder or baking soda rather than yeast, require no time to let the dough rise, and bake in under an hour.
