Coffee Cake. That name is just way too misleading. Call me crazy, but if it’s called ‘Coffee Cake’ why is it that the recipe usually never has coffee IN the cake? Hmm? Well, as a coffee fanatic, I just had to remedy that and so this recipe (which smells delightful coming out of the oven) was born.
I hope you enJOY it too!
Best Blessings!

First, mill an all purpose flour (50% hard white wheat & 50% soft white wheat) in your Wondermill or Wondermill Jr. Deluxe then gather ingredients.
Coffee Cake Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Brewed Cold Coffee
- Two Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Sugar or Evaporated Cane Crystals
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
- 1/4 Cup Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients:
- 8 oz (1 pkg) Softened Cream Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Egg

Streusel Topping/Layer:
- 1/4 Cup Sugar or Evaporated Cane Crystals

- 1 Stick COLD Butter cubed
- 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Pecans (top only)
Drizzle Icing Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 TBS your favorite flavored cream
So now we make this in four parts and put it together. I like to work backwards.
Streusel Topping/Layer Instructions:
In a food processor or with a pastry cutter combine all but the nuts until crumbly. Keep in the fridge until ready to use.
Cream Cheese Filling Instructions:
In the WonderMix with the whips or with a hand mixer combine soft cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Then while still beating add egg and almond extract.
Set aside to use in construction of middle layer of Coffee Cake.
Coffee Cake Instruction:
In a small bowl with hand beater or the WonderMix with the using the cookie dough beaters (4 sides) combine Brewed Cold Coffee, Eggs, Sugar or Evaporated Cane Crystals, Vanilla,Coconut Oil and Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt until well blended and smooth.
Sift together the 2 Cups All Purpose Flour, baking soda and sea salt. Slowly add to the liquid mixture 1/2 Cup at a time until well combined.
Put it all together!
Pour about 1/3 of the Coffee Cake batter in the bottom of your greased deep dish pie plate or 9 x 9 pyrex dish.
Spoon Cream Cheese Filling on top and spread to cover all but 1/2 inch of the base. Top the Cream Cheese Filling with about 1/2 of the Streusel Topping (minus the nuts). Then final layer of the Coffee Cake batter.
Top with remaining Streusel Topping and nuts (if desired) and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until wooden toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack before icing and cutting.
Drizzle Icing Instructions:
Mix powdered sugar and your favorite flavored cream. Drizzle. Eat!!!!!
