Alicat from Something so Clever can invite me over for breakfast anytime. Her banana coffee cake is made extra moist with cream cheese incorporated into the batter, in addition to butter and mashed bananas. It is topped with a crunchy streusel of cinnamon, sugar and pecans. A coffee cake, unlike its name suggests, is not necessarily coffee flavored nor does it usually contain coffee. It is meant to be served with coffee, much as a tea cake is intended to be served with tea. These cakes are not usually served for dessert as they are perceived to be homey and simple, perfect for a sweet breakfast or coffee break during the day, though many are quite rich with butter or sour cream.
