Coffee cakes tend to be modest, cozy affairs, but there’s still a lot that is special about them. They’re big and bountiful, perfect for sharing. Unlike a cookie or bar you can eat on the go or standing over the counter, a slice of coffee cake practically demands to be eaten at the table, ideally with a warm beverage, giving you the opportunity to slow down and savor the moment. Plus, as they’re often baked in an attractive Bundt pan, they look great without any extra effort.
