Inspired by @Traceyjane and @JudyEv post about cakes and with my sweet cravings running especially high lately, I couldn’t help but think about cake.
Coffee and walnut cake sounds interesting, but I don't have some of the ingredients, and I don't want to go out just to buy them. From yesterday up to now, I have been thinking about what easy recipe to bake.
I found a coffee cake recipe, and I have all the ingredients. Except for one, coffee.
The recipe doesn't include coffee in the ingredients so I re-read the title and it says Coffee Cake.
So how can a coffee cake be a coffee cake without any coffee in it?

@Traceyjayne Coffee cake is called this way because it is traditionally served with coffee, not because it contains coffee.

I have the opposite problem. You have coffee cake without coffee and I have coffee without cake

That is quite interesting. I would expect it to have coffee as the dominant ingredient
