Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fat instead of margarine or butter?
Yes, you can substitute margarine or butter with vegetable oil, coconut oil, or even a plant-based butter alternative for a dairy-free version. Adjust the quantity to 3/4 cup if using oil.
How should I store leftover coffee cake?
Leftover coffee cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
What should I do if my coffee cake is too dense?
If your coffee cake turns out too dense, it might be due to overmixing the batter or incorporating too much flour. To avoid this, mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined and ensure you're measuring flour accurately, using the spoon-and-level method.
