To be fair - coffee cake in the US is cake to have with coffee and doesn’t normally contain any coffee.
In the UK and EU, coffee cake is cake with coffee.
Likewise tea cakes in the US are cakes made with tea and tea cakes in UK and EU are cakes to have with tea. So…
Not a lie, just a Spider-Man meets Spider-Man moment when you learn you can actually make coffee cakes with coffee (or espresso) and you can make tea cakes with tea (I prefer oolong).
- nrabulinski 3y agoI’m from the EU and I’ve never had coffee cake with no coffee nor tea cake with no tea. Very fascinating tidbit about the naming, TIL
- IndrekR 3y agoTo confuse matters more, in this part of EU the coffee cake is made with coffee and tea cake is made without tea.
