TEA-TABLE COFFEE CAKE

TEA-TABLE COFFEE CAKE

— Gâteau de table au café

Gentle, buttery, and beautifully old-fashioned, Tea-Table Coffee Cake is the kind of bake that belongs beside a pot of tea (or a strong cup of coffee) while candlelight flickers and the day slows down. With a tender crumb and a softly spiced finish, it’s perfect for holiday mornings, quiet afternoons, and last slices saved for later. From The Gilded Table: December Edition.

Notes ✨
Don’t overmix once the flour goes in — a gentle hand keeps the crumb soft and tender.
If your cake has a streusel or spiced topping, press it lightly so it clings and bakes into a delicate crust.
This coffee cake is even lovelier the next day; store airtight and warm slices briefly before serving.
Serve simply, or finish with a whisper of powdered sugar for a holiday touch.

A candlelit slice — tender crumb, quiet spice, and tea-time charm.

Do you love coffee cake with a thick streusel topping, a simple buttery crumb, or a glaze that drips down the sides? Tell me your favorite style.
