The name "coffee cake" is not quite as clear cut in its description as it sounds, as there are a couple of different things that are called coffee cakes. The first is any cake designed to be eaten on a coffee break and, therefore, with a drink of coffee at a coffee table. Although both coffee and table may be altered. This could in theory be any type of cake, but it tends to be loaf shaped single layer cakes which are sliced.
The second type, and the one that this day refers to, is the more obvious sort of coffee cake - that is a cake that is flavoured with coffee or that is made with coffee. Again, this could describe a wide range of cakes, but they will all taste of coffee. Sponge cakes are popular for flavouring like this, but there are many different types and shapes.
