There is no coffee in it so why is it called coffee cake? Last year I was leading a group of teenage girls in a 4-H project on cake baking and this question came up. After a bit of research I have discovered that Coffee Cakes originate in Northern and Central Europe where they had a tradition of baking sweet breads and cakes. When coffee was introduced in the late 1600's they discovered that these sweet breads and cakes went great with a cup of coffee and so the name stuck.
Coffee cakes that we know and love to day are moist cakes usually with a sweet streusel topping and often containing fruit. I chose to use frozen blueberries in mine but it would also be good with apples, raspberries, rhubarb or peaches.
This cake is very moist and not too sweet. The streusel topping made with almonds, oatmeal and maple syrup is so healthy and it would almost be good on it's own for a crunchy snack. It is honestly hard to tell that this cake is gluten free.
