This perfect Vegan Coffee Cake is rich, and crumbly, and will be the star at your next brunch!
I have fond memories of coffee cake! There's a local shop restaurant in my hometown that sells coffee cake and it's AMAZING. I still remember the day my sister brought me there and made me try their coffee cake. At that time in my life, I was picky about what kind of cakes I eat, just because I was in sports and needed to be in tip-top shape. But she insisted and I never looked back. (Thank you, sister!!!!)
I remember eating there at least once a month with my high school friends, sometimes just ordering the coffee cake. There's something about brown sugar and cinnamon that get's you addicted. Am I right?
Anyways, I'm taking my baking to the next level and decided to make vegan coffee cake. This recipe tastes absolutely the same as the coffee cake I used to eat. Give it a try and let me know in the comments how it goes for you!

When do you add the crumb topping?
Anonymous says
Yeah, I noticed both the video and recipe failed to state when you add the crumb topping. I added it on top of the batter before putting it in the oven as that's what I have done with other recipes for similar coffee cake. I guess no one proof-[checked this before publishing the recipe. Good Luck!
Lainey says
Hi Elizabeth,
You can add that after you pour the batter into the pan. Thanks for catching that! 🙂
