I think the coffee cake conversation is indicative of the younger folks who just don't drink coffee to the extent my generation and older are used to. People would get together to "have coffee." Not so much any more. Always there was "coffee cake" served. The cake wasn't coffee-flavored, it was a sweet, bread-y dough mixed with cinnamon or had a topping of raspberry, cherry, apple or sweet cheese, etc. Entenmann's still makes these, but back in the day when there were lots of bakeries around, people had their favorite bakery just to get that bakery's coffee cakes. My older German friend makes a wonderful strudel, which I would also call a "coffee cake."
