Coffee cake or coffeecake is a sweet bread common in the United States, so called because it is typically served with coffee.[1][2] Leavenings can include yeast, baking soda, or baking powder. The modern dish typically contains no coffee. Outside the US, the term is generally understood to mean a cake flavored with coffee.
