Streusel Coffee Cake

Streusel Coffee Cake is a tender and delicate cake that has a cake center that is topped with cinnamon crumbs. Eat this coffee cake as a dessert or pair it with your morning cup of coffee. 

I always wondered why it is called coffee cake because there is no coffee used in the recipe. Then one day as I googled, it came across that coffee cake has been served for centuries, and generally, it is with a cup of coffee on the side. So coffee cake became the name we all know today.
