Comment on Coffee Cake by Holly Henry

In reply to Niyati Parikh. That's a great question! 😊 Coffee cake doesn't actually need to contain coffee. It's called "coffee cake" because it's traditionally served with a cup of coffee, not because coffee is an ingredient. This recipe gets its flavor from cinnamon, making it perfect to enjoy alongside your favorite coffee or tea!

There is no mention of coffee powder in the recipe

In reply to Anne Haluszczak. That sounds wonderful! 😍 The sliced almonds on top must have added the perfect little crunch. So glad you and your family loved them, thank you for trying the recipe and for the recommendation! 💛✨😊

I made these today and they were delicious. The only thing I did different was sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top. Highly recommend making these. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely be making these again. My family loved them.

In reply to Hannah. Hi! The cheesecake filling doesn’t need any Oreos 😊 They’re only used for the crust and crumble topping.

Hello! Do you use the entire Oreo or just the cookie part (I.e. not the filling)? Thanks!

In reply to Anonymous. Yes, regular vanilla works fine. Use the same amount of vanilla extract as the vanilla bean paste called for, or add a tiny bit more if you want the flavor stronger.

Can you use regular vanilla if you don’t have vanilla bean paste?
