I didn't think coffee cake actually tasted like coffee. I thought it was just supposed to be eaten with coffee. Seems like real authentic coffee cake to me.
You are correct in that is what is typically a coffee cake, but I love coffee and cake so looking forward to this as I have been craving a vegan tiramisu. This will do.
It can be both - with coffee or to be served with coffee. Some quick googling shows the origins with coffee in the cake implying that coffee cake is with coffee. After all wouldn't every cake be coffee cake if it meant served with coffee?
I guess I'm old enough to remember... coffee cake is kind of the American version of tea cake. It was a simple single layer cake, spices and nuts but no icing that ladies served at "coffees"... similar to tea parties, but the 60"s Jet Set/Jackie O version. No coffee in the cake.
I love the way you explained about the acidity to help the baking soda, the white flour making the cake more moist. That's great knowledge :) Thank you!
before i went vegan, i did a lot of research. when i heard sugar isn't vegan i literally died and got so upset, thought i'd never be vegan. turns out, canada doesn't really ever use bone char, and the only brand i use is redpath and they state they are 100% vegan on their website! it's so amazing :D i went vegan shortly after
I was seriously thinking of coffee cake this morning, and wondered how I was going to have vegan cake for my birthday this year I have coffee cake every year my favorite . But you came through as always! Thank you Lauren !!!
Cakes looks so good and yes instant coffee will give you a more concentrated flavor but keep your almond milk. The crumble topping needed to be moistened a little more so not to fall out of place when cutting. Great job non baker...Namaste
UK coffee cake will definitely have coffee in it & probably walnuts too +/- a buttercream topping & its delicious!! Great recipe Lauren I will definitely make this!! 😍
lately I've been trying vegan baking and mastering vegan baking is my goal for this holidays :D and my tip is that u can make the best creams using coconut milk, you simply whisk the hard part with some icing sugar and lemon juice :)
Lauren did you see that Nikki Limo made hff's crab cakes recipe ? she loved it !! I kinda want to take credit for it because I was one of those who suggested it to her hehe ;)
My favorite vegan treat is a coffee milkshake with coconut milk, vanilla, some cold-brew, and some maple syrup, thickened with either chia seeds or flax
Will be trying this soon! Probably using coffee in the frosting instead of milk and also make stronger coffee to go in the cake. That should enhance the coffee flavour :)
i didn't have coconut yogurt and had this weird urge to add 1/3 cup of ginger ale instead.. and it turned out great lol. i'll be making this again and again for sure
lauren, were you a good cook before going vegan or did going vegan inspire you to become an awesome cook? you are amazing. i get so excited when i watch other channels and they refer to hot for food. it happens almost weekly now. i was super stoked when brothers green mentioned you. lol. love it! cheering for you all the way to the top.
Basically I have the same ingredients on hand with a few exceptions: I don't have Coconut oil just Extra Virgin and will probably just use Cashew Milk. I may add a few dates in place of white sugar which I do not have. I may add a chopped ripe banana or dried cherries for flavor. I'm into my third week of doing a Plant Based way of eating. I've subscribed to your channel as of 8/21/19 @ 11:08am
Or add some strong espresso from an (piston)espresso machine. The fat of the coffee wil be extracted. That means more flavor! :D Haha didn't know that an coffee cake was a thing, we just eat regular apple tart. But I'm Dutch. Thanks guys! Love it!
I seriously LOVE your channel! You have been one of my biggest inspirations to go plant based. I am making small steps, and loving it so far! I son have one question though. All of your recipes using blended cashews look delicious, but I can't afford a vitamix. Do you know if a ninja blender (the one with several blades) would work?
Hi Lauren! Can you do recipes using coconut flour? I bought a big thing of it a long time ago but haven't come across a good recipe to use it since it's REALLY absorbent. i.e. I can't substitute as regular white flour! Thanks a bunch :)
I used it in my carrot cake recipe. It's a little grainy, but still turned out great. I didn't mind it. I wanted to do something for the ppl who can't eat all purpose. So it would probably work here too . Might be a tad drier as well, so not sure if you'd have to adjust the measurements?!
+hot for food I do grain free/vegan baking and I find that coconut flour is kind of gross by itself but it works really well when you use it with almond flour and arrowroot starch. If I'm replacing all purpose flour, I'll usually do (per cup of ap) 2 tbsp coconut flour, 2 tbsp arrowroot, and 3/4 cup almond flour. It doesn't work all the time, but it's a really good starting point and almost always does the trick. Just a tip!
I thought the point of coffee cake was that its good to eat with coffee but doesn't actually have coffee in it..? But no matter great video! can't wait to make it!
I know you tried to make vegan sushi before but for one of your challenges with john you guys should try that again! You have all the supplies you need lol
I think it just takes longer to bake because of the density-- I have a non vegan banana bread that takes an hour to bake- it's not necessarily because it's vegan ;)
lol: @ the end of this video i was looking at the graphics... & read the graphic as ‘easy to watch’ and was like: mentally like: yeah, i bet that would be easy to watch. all of these are. it was a welcome dyslexic moment. 😊 @11:45 ‘click to watch easy vegan peach crisp’ lol
I am not vegan so I usually eat my toast with cheese. When I want to eat vegan I don't know what to have it with that isn't sweet like jam , and in my country they don't sell many vegan products. Any options?
YOU'VE TOTALLY BAKED THE SCALLOPED POTATOES BEFORE AND YOU'VE TOTALLY ALSO BAKED THE PUMPKIN CHEESE BROCCOLI SHELLS. THOSE WERE TOTALLY BEFORE THIS VIDEO WHERE YOU BAKED
Trained cook here: Well done! Winging it with baking is risky, but your instincts are good, so you got the intended result. Almond milk adds a rich mouthfeel straight coffee won't, so I'd recommend a generous pinch of espresso powder to the coffee step next time. P.S. A standard coffee cake, because it's a dense batter, generally bakes for the better part of an hour anyhow. Thanks for posting : )
yes, to all above (baker here).....most coffee cakes do not actually have coffee in them. they are called that because you eat them WITH coffee. definitely, bake an hour. i wouldnt even do the "crumble" topping. you have a cross between a coffee cake and a strudel topped bundt cake. either way, it'll taste good. happy baking... :)
True, it may be different for different places, idk. For me it's just a moist cake with many spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger etc. and a rich crispy crust.
Yea in the US it's usually a brown sugary cake with a cinnamon-y crumbly topping. But, I still think this is technically a "coffee" cake because it's flavored with coffee. Two different meanings lol
I think it depends on where you're from! here in California most bakeries sell coffee cake that tastes like coffee but I recently saw Laura vitales coffee cake recipe and she didn't add coffee (she's from the east coast) hole that helped!
I like how most of your videos have really simple recipes, because some vegan recipes have things that I have to search online for but always forget to.
+amdg+ sweetie, coffee cake [my understanding, because I wondered about it too] is not supposed to taste like coffee, it's meant to be served with coffee the coconut yogurt is a good idea, and will definitely give this a try, maybe with almond slices on top, whatdya think? +pax Cristi!+
Coffee cake in the US is supposed to be served with coffee. The same as tea cakes are to be served with tea. However I find adding coffee to coffee cake is original.

if you use only whole wheat flour it might end up coming out tough, gummy, or too dense. I am not a scientist so I don't know the exact reason, but if you want to incorporate whole wheat flour into baking I would say use half AP flour and half whole wheat to get the right consistency/texture. but, if you don't care about that too much it doesn't matter. Everyone likes something different :)
Great video, got me inspired to make a coffee cake myself today...just some suggestions i worked out...If you use espresso (I used a hazelnut flavoured one) instead of coffee it gives the cake a lot stronger of a coffee flavour. Also for the crumble on top I used some melted earth balance butter to make it more like a streusel topping. Thanks for sharing!
People in the comments saying they've never heard of coffee cake with coffee actually in it but I'm the opposite ? Maybe it depends on where you live in not sure xD but all the coffee cake I've ever had was made with coffee.

You are correct in that is what is typically a coffee cake, but I love coffee and cake so looking forward to this as I have been craving a vegan tiramisu. This will do.
in the UK a coffee cake always includes coffee, I was always really confused when I found a US recipe for 'coffee cake' with no coffee in!
It can be both - with coffee or to be served with coffee. Some quick googling shows the origins with coffee in the cake implying that coffee cake is with coffee. After all wouldn't every cake be coffee cake if it meant served with coffee?

You nail it every single time!! I love your face when you try the food. Another amazing RECIPE?!? You ROCK

yup! isn't it great haha. There's other brands too but we're lucky in Canada since it's the largest!
I was seriously thinking of coffee cake this morning, and wondered how I was going to have vegan cake for my birthday this year I have coffee cake every year my favorite . But you came through as always! Thank you Lauren !!!
I've made this like 3+ times and it's now one of my staple recipes, and the first thing I'll think of baking when I need something, so thank you!!
so GLAD!!!

THE MOTH 😭😂 and you were so calm , I probably would of freaked out 😂
the camera angles in this video were so innovative!
that's JohN!
Absolutely crazy about this, yay coffee cake! I am amazed how you come up with these Lauren
this looks great! I love the idea of adding instant coffee to get more of a coffee flavor. yummy!
Omg Lauren!! You're killing me! I need to make this ASAP! I used to eat coffee cake at my grandparents all the time! 😋
Lauren did you see that Nikki Limo made hff's crab cakes recipe ? she loved it !! I kinda want to take credit for it because I was one of those who suggested it to her hehe ;)
awww ya so cool! THANK you for telling her about us
My favorite vegan treat is a coffee milkshake with coconut milk, vanilla, some cold-brew, and some maple syrup, thickened with either chia seeds or flax
Made this and it turned out great! The first time that I baked and it worked!
Hey Lauren, have you ever thought of owning a vegan restaurant or cafe in Toronto? The food would be amazing!
Will be trying this soon! Probably using coffee in the frosting instead of milk and also make stronger coffee to go in the cake. That should enhance the coffee flavour :)
im screaming at the moth its literally me
BAAHA!
stop screaming. be original.
+SpectacularVernacular screaming
i didn't have coconut yogurt and had this weird urge to add 1/3 cup of ginger ale instead.. and it turned out great lol. i'll be making this again and again for sure
Lauren's presentation game is A1 since day 1.
I love your RECIPE? videos!!!! You are just awesome
Why did I feel like when she took a sip at the start of the video I expected her to say " it's vodka." dejavu lol😂😂
i made this today and it is literally the nicest cake ive ever eaten
Thanks Lauren - third time making this cake...we’re getting better results each time.
Great to hear!

I've made two of these now and everyone loves it, including me. Thanks!
AMAZING !!!
+hot for food genius
+hot for food lol tradtional coffee cake it's not supposed to taste like coffee
I admire your passion and talent! :)
This was an AWESOME recipe!
Or add some strong espresso from an (piston)espresso machine. The fat of the coffee wil be extracted. That means more flavor! :D
Haha didn't know that an coffee cake was a thing, we just eat regular apple tart. But I'm Dutch.
Thanks guys! Love it!
I'm making this for Xmas
awesome. So happy you like it :D
Hahaha love this kind of cooking 😂😄 just roll with iT :P always amazed at what you make at the moment out of scratch ! 💚
love this music and the cake !
I seriously LOVE your channel! You have been one of my biggest inspirations to go plant based. I am making small steps, and loving it so far! I son have one question though. All of your recipes using blended cashews look delicious, but I can't afford a vitamix. Do you know if a ninja blender (the one with several blades) would work?
Yes! My friend has one and seems to work pretty good.
+hot for food thanks :)
It's a cake! ☺️ thanks Lauren ❤️❤️ sending #positivevibes ✨
omg i literally made the same exact thing yesterday except i used follow your hearts vegan egg instead of the yogurt and i put more coffee
In New Jersey we called this a crumb bun- no coffee in the cake! :)
You should do an egg substitute test kitchen. Not with tofu though. Like the vegan egg stuff such as Vegg or something like that
looks great Lauren! will be trying this :)
LOL @ Master Baker :P Cake looks amazing btw, no surprise there though
Looks good! Keep baking! 👏🏻👏🏻😀😀
Could marble instant coffee granules into the batter in the pan before adding crumb topping for more coffee flavor.
Way awesome! Made an Almond Strudel cake so my little could eat it without the coffee. rock on!
Omg you're adorable. I think a coffee party is also know as brunch.... ;)
riiiight haha
Hi Lauren!
Can you do recipes using coconut flour? I bought a big thing of it a long time ago but haven't come across a good recipe to use it since it's REALLY absorbent. i.e. I can't substitute as regular white flour! Thanks a bunch :)

It doesn't work all the time, but it's a really good starting point and almost always does the trick. Just a tip!
+hot for food If coconut flour is dry, how about using fresh coconut meat of non young coconuts... tastes awesome
use more concentrated coffee or even espresso!
also try coffee ice cubes for your mornings ;)
I love these videos !!!!
I thought the point of coffee cake was that its good to eat with coffee but doesn't actually have coffee in it..? But no matter great video! can't wait to make it!
this looks sooo tasty. can't wait to try it
I've never had coffee cake before but this looks goooood
is anyone else excited that the drizzle of icing goes to the music? 😂
that's called EDITING ON POINT boiiiii... hahaha ;)
You have the same fears I do when baking. And it looks gorgeous!
I know you tried to make vegan sushi before but for one of your challenges with john you guys should try that again! You have all the supplies you need lol
I love Recipe? videos so much 😝
looks so good i really want to try it out
Camp Coffee makes for the best coffee cake.
girl! you so fabulous!
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT! where did you get it? (sorry if this is weird)
can i use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar? or is there any other substitutes? thank you
i love this, need to make it
I think it just takes longer to bake because of the density-- I have a non vegan banana bread that takes an hour to bake- it's not necessarily because it's vegan ;)
Please make a video for the popcorn chicken cauliflower
Do they have a kitchen layout tour? I need to model my life after their kitchen.
check my channel :D

hot for food thank you! I am subbed now!
i wonder if ground dry chicory root would work too.
lol: @ the end of this video i was looking at the graphics... & read the graphic as ‘easy to watch’ and was like: mentally like: yeah, i bet that would be easy to watch. all of these are. it was a welcome dyslexic moment. 😊 @11:45 ‘click to watch easy vegan peach crisp’ lol
"So, little buddy--ugh, why's it jiggling?"
What can you use instead of coconut yogurt ???
use espresso coffee it'll make the flavor more bold
Chikuru Chibi Otis Mcdonald not for nothing
That was great! I miss John though!
That looks delicious
was waiting for this
I am not vegan so I usually eat my toast with cheese. When I want to eat vegan I don't know what to have it with that isn't sweet like jam , and in my country they don't sell many vegan products. Any options?
Guacamole/mashed avocado, hummus, tahini, baba ganoush, green or red pesto, olive tapenade, vegan 'cream cheese' (you can look up recipes online), unsweetened salted nut butters, vegan mayo, onion dip, refried beans... damn I'm hungry now.
This probably wouldn't work since you said it was moist but cake bakers soak their cakes in syrup, maybe soak it in coffee???
This is awsome
cake looks damn good if you ask me 😉
YOU'VE TOTALLY BAKED THE SCALLOPED POTATOES BEFORE AND YOU'VE TOTALLY ALSO BAKED THE PUMPKIN CHEESE BROCCOLI SHELLS. THOSE WERE TOTALLY BEFORE THIS VIDEO WHERE YOU BAKED
I meant like dessert baking... more science with baking powder etc.
hot for food I LOVE SCIENCE AND OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU REPLIED YOU CELEBRITY
I added peaches to mine
traditional coffee cake doesn't have coffee in it anyways so you did well...
Trained cook here: Well done! Winging it with baking is risky, but your instincts are good, so you got the intended result. Almond milk adds a rich mouthfeel straight coffee won't, so I'd recommend a generous pinch of espresso powder to the coffee step next time. P.S.

OHHHH thank you for chiming in!!! YAY me ;)
yes, to all above (baker here).....most coffee cakes do not actually have coffee in them. they are called that because you eat them WITH coffee. definitely, bake an hour. i wouldnt even do the "crumble" topping. you have a cross between a coffee cake and a strudel topped bundt cake. either way, it'll taste good. happy baking... :)
Vegan breakfast sandwich!!! Need it in my life!!
Peaceful cuisine has some great recipes but yea, Lauren should make one too !!!
i think they have a video on that
the EdgyVeg has really good breakfast sandwich videos :)
I've already made it and it's pretty good. Also really versatile cause you can pair it with whatever you want.
i totally recommend these biscuits- minimalistbaker.com/the-best-damn-vegan-biscuits/
they are amazing and perfect for a breakfast sandwich
I made this, but I used vegan butter instead of coconut oil. It was so delicious!!
I need a vegan chicken marsala Lauren!
Nuka. You're a genius.
Do you mean MASALA or marsala is a different dish 😳
+priyansha singh definitely Marsala lol the Italian dish! That would be a big mix up haha
+Nuka Cola haha❤️
I would say you did good! Coffee cake doesn't usually have coffee in it. It's just supposed to be a good compliment to your coffee in the morning! 😊
Ur right .. I was like wait it doesn't have coffee in it.. I wonder how it taste I'm not a coffee fan
really!? all the coffee cakes i've had are literal coffeeeeeeee cakes lol!
True, it may be different for different places, idk. For me it's just a moist cake with many spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger etc. and a rich crispy crust.
Yea in the US it's usually a brown sugary cake with a cinnamon-y crumbly topping. But, I still think this is technically a "coffee" cake because it's flavored with coffee. Two different meanings lol
Really, it's an American thing? I thought about that too while she was making it. I was like, "hold up, Lauren."
You guys your editing is FLAWLESS. It gives me so much joy to watch your videos!
really appreciate it. THANK YOU
right, i love it!
you're AMAZING. this channel serves the best food porn.
Christabel Amoah it's because she is a master baker
I think a coffee cake doesn't have to have a coffee taste, it is called coffee cake because it pair good with coffee :)
I think it depends on where you're from! here in California most bakeries sell coffee cake that tastes like coffee but I recently saw Laura vitales coffee cake recipe and she didn't add coffee (she's from the east coast) hole that helped!
***** you're right. Anyways, Lauren's coffee cake looks really good :)
"A coffee party".... Sounds like a party I'd love to be invited to!!! Haha!
+CoffeeBreakwithDani I know right!!!! 😍😍
But didn't Lauren make that passion flakie as a video in the RECIPE?! series??? Because this cake wouldn't be the first bake in the series then lol
Oh crap... fergot!
Omg u replied ily 😁😍 please do a meetup in Toronto !!! (Preferably before summer ends cuz school eww)
+Bani Badwal yaaassss 🙌
I want a hot for food restaurant.
VEGAN CAKE CHALLENGE VIDEO!?
I like how most of your videos have really simple recipes,
because some vegan recipes have things that I have to search online for but always forget to.
When lauryn's cake is perfect the first time but u can't bake for shit after baking about 2671278281 times
+amdg+
sweetie, coffee cake [my understanding, because I wondered about it too] is not supposed to taste like coffee, it's meant to be served with coffee
the coconut yogurt is a good idea, and will definitely give this a try, maybe with almond slices on top, whatdya think?
+pax Cristi!+
are you in Canada?
Coffee cake in the US is supposed to be served with coffee. The same as tea cakes are to be served with tea. However I find adding coffee to coffee cake is original.
coffee cake in the UK always has coffee in it rather than being eaten with a cup of coffee!
+cafeaulait_ and I just google teacakes and depending on what country you are in they are each a completely different confection. The only similarity being that they were meant to be served with tea. I love learning new stuff!
Oonagh72 I know! I've never heard of cake thats served with coffee until I found an American recipe for coffee cake and it didn't have any in so I just assumed it was a mistake!
every time i watch your videos i feel compelled to tell you both how much i love you - gosh that's creepy. i love you guys ;)
LOVE YOU TOO!!! thanks for supporting and watching
Looks epic! Instant coffee powder will give it some more coffee oomph! And big cakes like those take foreeeeverrr to bake haha, vegan or otherwise =)
I SQUEALED AT THIS NOTIFICATION
what does adding whole wheat flour do that ap doesn't?!
if you use only whole wheat flour it might end up coming out tough, gummy, or too dense. I am not a scientist so I don't know the exact reason, but if you want to incorporate whole wheat flour into baking I would say use half AP flour and half whole wheat to get the right consistency/texture. but, if you don't care about that too much it doesn't matter. Everyone likes something different :)
+Kiersten Klaus yeah! but i am wondering why incorporate whole wheat at all?
+pup girl she didn't have enough AP in the video and also maybe because whole wheat is a healthier option ?!
Simply makes it slightly more healthful (includes the wheat bran).
Great video, got me inspired to make a coffee cake myself today...just some suggestions i worked out...If you use espresso (I used a hazelnut flavoured one) instead of coffee it gives the cake a lot stronger of a coffee flavour. Also for the crumble on top I used some melted earth balance butter to make it more like a streusel topping. Thanks for sharing!
Would using earth balance instead of coconut oil be okay? I would assume so? haha
yes!
