RELATED VIDEOS & RECIPES

Hi Bold Bakers! One of my favorite things to teach is how to make the things you think you can only buy at your local store. My Classic Coffee Cake is definitely like what you can buy in the store — but better and easier to make than you think. It comes complete with a thick layer of cinnamon pecan streusel and a sweet maple glaze that will wow any brunch! So let’s get baking!

Gemma, this really brought back memories for me. My youngest child has Down Syndrome & Kelly is 37 now. When she was an infant she had an Early Intervention Teacher who came to our home & taught us techniques to help with her development. Her teacher's name is Shirley, and every day that Shirley came, I always had the coffee maker ready with a fresh pot & some kind of homemade treat, coffee cake, muffins, a quick bread, some kind of baked good. I got to know Shirley really well & while my daughter doesn't need her instruction anymore, Shirley is still a great friend. Sharing a cup of coffee or tea & a delicious treat, really relaxes everyone & helps people to get to know one another, and it's a wonderful bonding time. Keep on showing us your wonderful skills & recipes. A delicious treat with a warm drink, is a perfect break in the middle, or any time of day! You're the best!!!!

DO NOT forget to ALWAYS toast the nuts whenever nuts are called for!! I've been baking for 48 years and have found many years ago that the true delicious flavor of nuts come out when toasted!! It makes your recipe a MILLION TIMES better if not perfect!!

Just had to say, love the sound of your voice and accent, it's just so pleasing to the ear. Also, you make cooking look simple.

Hey Gemma! I tried your Coffee cake and Lord! It’s instantly become one of the best cakes I made to date. The recipe is spot on and you could simply deliver this cake to a bakery and it’ll be gone in no time. I’ve learned so much from you, thank you so much! ❤️

You are an amazing Baker, recently I found you in you tube and immediately started following you and believe me everything which I have tried has turned out the best. I am gathering lots of appreciation from my family and friends. Thankyou so much

Made this cake today, and it doesn’t disappoint! Soft fluffy sponge and crunchy streusel. So yummy. I did originally click on the recipe because I thought this cake had coffee in it, but no, you drink it with coffee. Got it! It goes well with a big mug of tea too. 😉Loved this Gemma! Your recipes have made me a competent baker. 🥰🥮🍰🧁🍪💖

OK Gemma. I gotta make this! You are brilliant for bringing this to the public awareness. Coffee cakes should be brought to the forefront today as they were recognized as a great desert in years past. Easy recipe to follow. And the individual desert pan is a great idea. It reminds me that when I bake your banana bread recipe, I split the dough into a 4 mini loaf pan. THUMBS UP!

One of my favorite memories is having afternoon tea with my Dad. I'm going to make this, have some tea, and reminisce.

I just made this today for snack and I love it! My family seems to love it, too. There's a bunch of recipes here for coffee cake and when I try to find the easiest with no fail, I always follow yours. Thank you! Love from the Philippines!

Until she said it, I never considered some people might think Coffee Cake would taste like coffee 😂😂. I love the topping on coffee cake! I was always taught it was called that because it's served with coffee.

It makes a dark color
And crispier top.

Not many recipes use instant coffee
Anymore...HAVEN'T HAD A TRUE COFFEE CAKE IN 40 YEARS.
