These were more like sweet breads rather than cakes and included other sweet ingredients, such as fruits and nuts. According to the book Listening to America by Stuart Berg Flexner, it wasn’t until 1879 that the term “coffee cake” became a common term.

Coffee cake is intended to be eaten with, or flavored with, coffee. This delicious cake format is celebrated on April 7th of every year during National Coffee Cake Day.
