What is a coffee cake?
Here in the US, a coffee cake is a baked good that refers to a “cake” for breakfast. I know it’s a bit confusing, but there is no coffee on the ingredient list for the coffee cake. It does not mean that the mixture has coffee in it.
But it is lovely with a cup of coffee, a glass of oat milk, a smoothie, an horchata, or a glass of hazelnut chocolate milk.

- Flour, all-purpose flour (affiliate link). If you using whole wheat flour, choose a fine ground one.
- It is better to use brown sugar and preferably vegan, but the one you have at home is perfectly fine.
- Zest of a lemon: When you use the lemon zest for this or any recipe, it is better to zest the lemon first and then cut it to use the juice.
- Oil, vegetable oil. It will always be better to use avocado oil or another that is not a mix of different oils.

- Almond milk or soy milk

How to make vegan coffee cake
First, add lemon juice to the almond milk, then mix the dry ingredients in a medium-large bowl. The third step is to combine the wet and dry ingredients, add the blueberries and mix carefully.
Spread the batter into a prepared baking pan. The last step is to prepare the topping or streusel. Mix the flour, oil, yellow lemon zest, and sugar in a medium bowl with a fork or with your hands. The idea is to form some “crumbs.”
Put them on top, sprinkle evenly over the cake, and put them in the oven. The vegan coffee cake will be ready when you put a cake tester, knife, or fork in it, and it comes out clean, and the topping begins to brown.

The recipe looks delicious. What size pan did you use?
This is an 8x 11 inches ceramic pan from Staub. An 8×8 brownie pan will also work here.
I made this cake for my son’s birthday. substituting oat flour for a gluten free version. I chose a nine inch cake pan, and it worked perfectly. It was easy to make and my family loved it. I did take longer to bake in my oven, almost 40 minutes, but it did not burn or overbake.
To make it a bit more festive, I added emon icing that I drizzled on top and made a blueberry syrup that we poiured over the slices on the plate. It was amazing! My family said this was like something you would get in an upscale vegan bakery. Absolutely Delicious! Thanks.
Omg!!! You just made my heart explode with happiness. Thank you for letting me know and that blueberry drizzle on top… GENIUS.
