Coffee Cake Recipes

for Breakfast and Brunch

A selection of homemade coffee cake recipes including crumb, raspberry, peach, blueberry and more. Sweet glaze and brown sugar streusel toppings make these quick easy coffee cakes special.

If you have been looking for something for breakfast or brunch besides a plain doughnut, these recipes for coffee cakes are the perfect choice to go with that cup of coffee in the morning.

These cakes are rich, buttery, full of flavor and texture, and yet still light and fluffy. Many are drizzled with a light icing that makes it hard to eat just one piece. Coffeecake is especially good when served warm, fresh from the oven or reheated in the microwave.

Some coffeecakes use yeast and others do not. The majority of the recipes below do not use yeast, but instead are the quick and easy variety that use other leavening agents such as baking soda and baking powder.

Almost everyone would agree that the best part of a coffee cake is the cinnamon streusel topping or icing that forms the top crust of the coffee cake. Brown sugar with oatmeal or coconut crumbled on top adds a great amount of variety in the flavor and texture of the cake.

Complement your favorite gourmet coffee or tea with these great fruit flavored coffee cake recipes such as apple, blueberry, apricot and cherry, raspberry, lemon and orange.

In addition to a wide range of fruit choices for many of the recipes, don't forget about the wonderful streusel toppings; pecans, walnuts, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, oatmeal, and coconut and even almond cookies.

*****Look for recipes that have buttermilk, sour cream or cream cheese, or yogurt added to the batter. This creates an extra moist coffee cake that is almost on the verge of being a pastry.

*****Try baking your cake in a spring form pan with removable sides; you will be able to remove the cake easier without disturbing the toppings.
