Coffee cakes, as an accompaniment for coffee, are often single layer, flavored with either [[fruit]] or [[cinnamon]], and leavened with either [[baking soda]] (or [[baking powder]]), which results in a more cake-like texture, or [[baker's yeast|yeast]], which results in a more bread-like texture. They may be loaf-shaped, for easy slicing. |

Coffee cake—also referred to as gugelhupf or kaffekuchen—evolved from other sweet dishes from Vienna.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.austria.info/us/activities/food-wine/gugelhupf|title=The Gugelhupf.

Immigrants from countries such as Germany and Scandinavia adjusted their recipes to their own liking and brought them to America. Though the cakes varied, they all contained ingredients such as yeast, flour, dried fruit, and sweet spices. However, over time, the coffee cake recipes have changed as cheese, sugared fruit, yogurt, sour cream, have been used, leading to a denser, more cake-like structure. In the 19th century, American cooks also used coffee as an ingredient to thriftily use up leftovers, reducing waste, and flavor the cake.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcakes.html|title=The Food Timeline: cake history notes|website=www.foodtimeline.org|access-date=2019-12-04}}</ref> The invention of pasteurization in America following World War I<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pbs.org/food/the-history-kitchen/american-cakes-history/|title=American Cakes Throughout History {{!}} The History Kitchen|date=2015-07-08|website=PBS Food|language=en-US |publisher=[[Public Broadcasting System]]|access-date=2019-08-01}}</ref> also led to the creation of a new kind of coffee cake, called sour cream coffee cake.<ref name="MarksSourCream">{{Cite web|url=https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/sour-cream-coffeecake-history-recipe/|title=American Cakes - Sour Cream Coffeecake History & Recipe|website=Tori Avey |last=Marks |first=Gil |access-date=2019-08-01}}</ref> Coffee cake is referenced in literary material as early as 1850<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0O4ck0g_1rIC&pg=PA9&dq=%22coffee+cake%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi1o8ep36HmAhUihOAKHWF-ATo4HhDoATAAegQIABAC#v=onepage&q=%22coffee%20cake%22&f=false|title=The Gift|date=1850|publisher=Pioneer Drama Service, Inc.|language=en}}</ref> with references to gugelhupf going back to 1763.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aqtIAAAAcAAJ&pg=PP33&dq=%22gugelhupf%22&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiq48_V36HmAhVyiOAKHdhDCII4MhDoATAHegQIBxAC#v=onepage&q=%22gugelhupf%22&f=false|title=Die dramatische Unterhaltung unter guten Freunden.
