Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is a special type of pan with a fluted design that allows for even baking and a beautiful presentation.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your coffee cake the best flavor. Use high-quality coffee, butter, eggs, and flour.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: Coffee cake is best served warm or at room temperature, so that you can enjoy the soft and fluffy texture.
