National Coffee Cake Day

National Coffee Cake Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to this wonderful dessert—a delicate cake with a seductive coffee flavor. What could be better?! Especially if you are a fan of coffee or chocolate. The holiday is celebrated on April 7.

History

The history of National Coffee Cake Day remains unknown. Researchers believe that coffee cake or cakes were invented in Europe (presumably in Austria) in the 17th century, as their creation followed the tradition of many other famous desserts. The impetus for the appearance of coffee cake was the popular habit of pairing desserts with coffee. Apparently, some skillful chef had the idea to combine two delicious products together, resulting in a great cake with a distinct coffee flavor and aroma.

There is no single correct recipe for coffee cake. You can add different nuts, use various kinds of cream, and include berries or fruit. Coffee cake is not only a great dessert but also a real field for experimentation for those who love cooking.
