Coffee cakes are definitely a wonderful treat! The irony of coffee cakes is that they actually do not contain any coffee in them. The name was given to the delicious treat, not because it contains coffee, but because it goes well with a cup.

Food historians say that coffee cakes were originally invented in the 17th century, somewhere in Europe. Sweet breads were initially eaten with coffee; coffee cakes eventually evolved into the way we know them today – mixed with different kinds of nuts and fruits, and topped with streusel or icing.

There are actually a number of coffee cake mixes available in the supermarket. These ready-made mixes are easy to make, and typically have instructions on the back of the box. However, these packaged mixes are never quite as delicious as those that you make on your own.

If you’re looking for coffee cake recipes that are easy and that you can do at home, there are many places where you can start your search.

First of all, try searching your home. Your mother or grandmother may have some hidden coffee cake recipes in some old chest in your very own house. Also, try calling your friends; they might know good coffee cake recipes from their own families that have been handed down to them, and that they are willing to share with you.

If you can’t find coffee cake recipes this way, you can turn to good old fashioned recipe books. Visit your local bookstore and find recipe books on baking different kinds of coffee cakes. If none are available, check out cookbooks on cake making. You might also chance upon a delicious coffee cake recipe in a magazine.

If this still doesn’t work, you can always search the Internet. There are numerous coffee cake recipes available online, using a variety of ingredients. If you want a more focused search, go to specific cooking websites, such as PerfectCoffees.com and AllRecipes.com.

The sheer number of coffee cake recipes that will appear from your search can actually be quite overwhelming. In order to pick just one, decide on what kind of coffee cake you want, and limit your search to that. If you’re planning to bake a coffee cake for family and friends, decide what will suit them best. Avoid coffee cakes that have too many nuts, as some people may be allergic to them.

With a little effort, you’ll surely find a coffee cake recipe that you can easily recreate!
