vegan coffee cake | RECIPE?! ep #13 (hot for food)

[@ValerieAiello]

I didn't think coffee cake actually tasted like coffee. I thought it was just supposed to be eaten with coffee. Seems like real authentic coffee cake to me.

[@ebgbjo]

You are correct in that is what is typically a coffee cake, but I love coffee and cake so looking forward to this as I have been craving a vegan tiramisu. This will do.

[@magneramy]

in the UK a coffee cake always includes coffee, I was always really confused when I found a US recipe for 'coffee cake' with no coffee in!

[@pucktweety]

It can be both - with coffee or to be served with coffee. Some quick googling shows the origins with coffee in the cake implying that coffee cake is with coffee. After all wouldn't every cake be coffee cake if it meant served with coffee?

[@linalee8756]

i agree! I've never seen actual coffee used in coffee cake recipes! i freaking coffee cake!

[@Yzyxdolorza]

I guess I'm old enough to remember... coffee cake is kind of the American version of tea cake. It was a simple single layer cake, spices and nuts but no icing that ladies served at "coffees"... similar to tea parties, but the 60"s Jet Set/Jackie O version. No coffee in the cake.

[@tamcon72]

Trained cook here: Well done! Winging it with baking is risky, but your instincts are good, so you got the intended result. Almond milk adds a rich mouthfeel straight coffee won't, so I'd recommend a generous pinch of espresso powder to the coffee step next time. P.S. A standard coffee cake, because it's a dense batter, generally bakes for the better part of an hour anyhow. Thanks for posting : )

[@hotforfood]

OHHHH thank you for chiming in!!! YAY me ;)

[@Sarah_Grant]

yes, to all above (baker here).....most coffee cakes do not actually have coffee in them. they are called that because you eat them WITH coffee. definitely, bake an hour. i wouldnt even do the "crumble" topping. you have a cross between a coffee cake and a strudel topped bundt cake. either way, it'll taste good. happy baking... :)

[@PogoTheBear]

You guys your editing is FLAWLESS. It gives me so much joy to watch your videos!

[@hotforfood]

really appreciate it. THANK YOU

[@EstebanNillo15]

right, i love it!

[@AriannaWilliams]

Vegan breakfast sandwich!!! Need it in my life!!

[@banibadwal7995]

Peaceful cuisine has some great recipes but yea, Lauren should make one too !!!

[@oolongtea4013]

i think they have a video on that

[@ambrosecchio]

the EdgyVeg has really good breakfast sandwich videos :)

[@chibimena]

I've already made it and it's pretty good. Also really versatile cause you can pair it with whatever you want.

[@avahorvat3384]

i totally recommend these biscuits- minimalistbaker.com/the-best-damn-vegan-biscuits/ they are amazing and perfect for a breakfast sandwich

[@hunter.2772]

I made this, but I used vegan butter instead of coconut oil. It was so delicious!!

[@emmaruth4748]

I like how most of your videos have really simple recipes, because some vegan recipes have things that I have to search online for but always forget to.

[@BLuisana]

there is not a single thing a dislike about your channel, thank you so much for helping vegans around the world

[@briarbelen3840]

I would say you did good! Coffee cake doesn't usually have coffee in it. It's just supposed to be a good compliment to your coffee in the morning! 😊

[@lisbethserrano2858]

Ur right .. I was like wait it doesn't have coffee in it.. I wonder how it taste I'm not a coffee fan

[@alexisrose4221]

really!? all the coffee cakes i've had are literal coffeeeeeeee cakes lol!

[@potatohaven9073]

True, it may be different for different places, idk. For me it's just a moist cake with many spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger etc. and a rich crispy crust.

[@cbcxxo]

Yea in the US it's usually a brown sugary cake with a cinnamon-y crumbly topping. But, I still think this is technically a "coffee" cake because it's flavored with coffee. Two different meanings lol

[@AJDwatching]

Really, it's an American thing? I thought about that too while she was making it. I was like, "hold up, Lauren."

[@veganlifegratitude]

THE MOTH! Your authenticity is so refreshing as always 💕

[@alexisrose4221]

before i went vegan, i did a lot of research. when i heard sugar isn't vegan i literally died and got so upset, thought i'd never be vegan. turns out, canada doesn't really ever use bone char, and the only brand i use is redpath and they state they are 100% vegan on their website! it's so amazing :D i went vegan shortly after

[@hotforfood]

yup! isn't it great haha. There's other brands too but we're lucky in Canada since it's the largest!

[@AletheaTodaro]

You nail it every single time!! I love your face when you try the food. Another amazing RECIPE?!? You ROCK

[@ilap381]

I love the way you explained about the acidity to help the baking soda, the white flour making the cake more moist. That's great knowledge :) Thank you!

[@BobiRobbi]

UK coffee cake will definitely have coffee in it & probably walnuts too +/- a buttercream topping & its delicious!! Great recipe Lauren I will definitely make this!! 😍

[@banatalie]

the camera angles in this video were so innovative!

[@hotforfood]

that's JohN!

[@lenakhein]

I've made this like 3+ times and it's now one of my staple recipes, and the first thing I'll think of baking when I need something, so thank you!!

[@hotforfood]

so GLAD!!!

[@CHuertaGalindo]

THE MOTH 😭😂 and you were so calm , I probably would of freaked out 😂

[@princess.blumarine111]

I just love your RECIPE?! Series honestly. xx

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU :D

[@princess.blumarine111]

+hot for food ahh you replied! Love you John and Lauren

[@gingeraffe1]

You never cease to inspire me with these recipe?! videos! Thank you Lauren!

[@pisceseyestare]

Great video, got me inspired to make a coffee cake myself today...just some suggestions i worked out...If you use espresso (I used a hazelnut flavoured one) instead of coffee it gives the cake a lot stronger of a coffee flavour. Also for the crumble on top I used some melted earth balance butter to make it more like a streusel topping. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheBabe1690]

I was seriously thinking of coffee cake this morning, and wondered how I was going to have vegan cake for my birthday this year I have coffee cake every year my favorite . But you came through as always! Thank you Lauren !!!

[@nukaxxcola]

I need a vegan chicken marsala Lauren!

[@spreadgudjuju]

Nuka. You're a genius.

[@glammedbypriyansha7334]

Do you mean MASALA or marsala is a different dish 😳

[@nukaxxcola]

+priyansha singh definitely Marsala lol the Italian dish! That would be a big mix up haha

[@glammedbypriyansha7334]

+Nuka Cola haha❤️

[@pativg3939]

My favorite channel. All the recipes I get from here works perfectly at my home.

[@justinaVirpsaite]

Made it last week, but i put loads if icing on it too 😊 i think it's the best cake i've ever eaten.... My non vegan friends loved it just as much as i did! ❤️ thanks Lauren

[@adesma6458]

This channel is such a god-send, I don't have the imagination for even half of these

[@daancer1997]

These videos are my favourite! I think I actually learn more about cooking in these than any other video

[@dedoubecool]

Lauren did you see that Nikki Limo made hff's crab cakes recipe ? she loved it !! I kinda want to take credit for it because I was one of those who suggested it to her hehe ;)

[@hotforfood]

awww ya so cool! THANK you for telling her about us

[@Rachelcarter121110]

I LOVE RECIPE?!S. I totally do this all the time Lauren. I just start grabbing stuff in my kitchen and testing it out, all because of you! (and John, haha). Thanks for another one! I'm making this this weekend for my fam.

[@nicstixful]

Absolutely crazy about this, yay coffee cake! I am amazed how you come up with these Lauren

[@CHEYENNERAIN1]

Cakes looks so good and yes instant coffee will give you a more concentrated flavor but keep your almond milk. The crumble topping needed to be moistened a little more so not to fall out of place when cutting. Great job non baker...Namaste

[@codenamehoneytattoos]

Lauren how do you do it??? Every RECIPE?? is so successful it blows my mind!

[@belengarciacalvar3414]

i love the sounds she makes when she eats

[@thelinus]

my mouth is literally watering. that cake looks amazing.

[@etaritero23]

Just made this, it was sooo delicious! Even though I didn't have all the ingredients, we still made it work. (I didn't have yogurt so I used 2 flax "eggs", only had balsamic vinegar, didn't have coconut oil so I used vegan butter, and in the frosting instead of vanilla I used coffee and because I only had vanilla almond milk ;) )

[@3303jeri]

I made this cake tonight and made a few changes. More Wheat Flour and reg flour. Used nuts and shredded coconut. Also used greek vanilla yogurt and splenda instead of white sugar and this kitchen smell like cinnamon love!!!! Sooo good. Cant wait to taste it but dont wanna burn my mouth. Lol

[@kiniasek]

lately I've been trying vegan baking and mastering vegan baking is my goal for this holidays :D and my tip is that u can make the best creams using coconut milk, you simply whisk the hard part with some icing sugar and lemon juice :)

[@EstebanNillo15]

just found your guys' channel! LOVE IT!!!

[@hotforfood]

HI!!!! Thank you so much!

[@castlenani]

I’ve been having a really tough sad week &this video gave me a little joy and something to look forward too, thanks for your content Lauren 💚

[@hotforfood]

You are so welcome! be well xo

[@DevAhmari]

this looks great! I love the idea of adding instant coffee to get more of a coffee flavor. yummy!

[@ae4925]

I see there are places in the world where coffee cake isn't made with/doesn't taste like coffee but all the coffee cakes I've had --- definitely use coffee or espresso for flavour. 😊 I don't drink coffee but have always enjoyed coffee flavour in cake - and tiramisu!

[@forozco2015]

I'm glad to say that I'm positive I will become vegan soon because of what you guys make on this channel and watching Lauren's WIAIAD, thanks for not just making fruit salad or eating 12 bananas you guys are awesome

[@WillowandPaisley]

Looks delish! Adding some oats would make a great crumb/crisp topping. I've never known coffee cake to have coffee in it but I love coffee flavoured anything!

[@savannahk1751]

I get the same ad all the time before your videos but the music in it is so good I can't skip lol

[@JRENT209]

Omg Lauren!! You're killing me! I need to make this ASAP! I used to eat coffee cake at my grandparents all the time! 😋

[@taylormckee1974]

Lauren you are so frickin amazing ! I love watching your videos they are so inspiring and make me exited to be a vegan and still get to try amazing new recipes ! Please keep doing what you're doing because you're awesome at it ❤️❤️

[@shawnorth3622]

+SpectacularVernacular screaming

[@suemedeiros800]

I have made so many recipes from you and everyone has been so good. I made this and and loved it. My husband flipped! I did use coffee...I put in cold brew from the fridge. I set the timer for an hour and it was done..The glaze was so easy to make!

[@hotforfood]

AWESOME! That makes me happy :D

[@littlebigkaycey]

I love your little stories and inspirations that go along with your ambitions when you cook :) Growing up my mom would make a coffee cake but it was more like an apple cake but once I was vegan, because the recipe had apples when we tried it made vegan it worked out the same! Yours looks great! I was laughing how you used up all you had of most of your ingredients :P

[@whimsicalhag]

i didn't have coconut yogurt and had this weird urge to add 1/3 cup of ginger ale instead.. and it turned out great lol. i'll be making this again and again for sure

[@PlantEats]

every time i watch your videos i feel compelled to tell you both how much i love you - gosh that's creepy. i love you guys ;)

[@hotforfood]

LOVE YOU TOO!!! thanks for supporting and watching

[@cathy9423]

I just want to be a kid in your kitchen and watch you make cake! ❤️

[@emmaaxenchuk3655]

made this for mothers day today. seriously good! I used a couple more tbs of coconut oil, and 1 cup coffee, 1/4 cup soy milk. it had a good amount of coffee flavor. it's so good thanks!

[@hotforfood]

yaay!

[@glammedbypriyansha7334]

Lauren's presentation game is A1 since day 1.

[@missavfree]

Here in the U.K. coffee cake tastes like coffee :) This recipe looks great, I'll have to give it go!

[@CoffeeBreakwithDani]

"A coffee party".... Sounds like a party I'd love to be invited to!!! Haha!

[@hotforfood]

+CoffeeBreakwithDani I know right!!!! 😍😍

[@abbiefrost7649]

Please do more desserts in the recipe?! Series!!!! This looks amazing :)

[@zoe2354]

Good way to start my morning 😍 I'm so glad i have all the ingredients

[@ravynstadick8406]

It looks AMAZING!! I will say that growing up, "coffee cake" didn't taste like coffee ... it was more of a sweet cake to enjoy WITH coffee. I cannot wait to try it.

[@lornacrystal9784]

This was an AWESOME recipe!

[@brittanymorgan4308]

Lauren i love watching you guys but when i started following you on your personal channel i knew you looked familiar being a fellow Canadian i seen bits of you when i still had cable on much music its really cool on all you do keep up the great work

[@hotforfood]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! bahaah and I too cut my cable years ago :)

[@DianaLeighWarner]

[@hotforfood]

[@catsieja5862]

[@ellikay2590]

[@denaerangel]

+hot for food genius

[@denaerangel]

+hot for food lol tradtional coffee cake it's not supposed to taste like coffee

[@oganes91401]

Thank you for the recipe. Very soft and unbelievably delicious cake. Just made one.

[@shylamarie8295]

I want a hot for food restaurant.

[@jacki967]

I'm making this for Xmas

[@hotforfood]

awesome. So happy you like it :D

[@windy6009]

I love your RECIPE? videos!!!! You are just awesome

[@christinacalarco4181]

Why did I feel like when she took a sip at the start of the video I expected her to say " it's vodka." dejavu lol😂😂

[@avigailoron2050]

It turned out amazing! Used 2 shots of strong espresso and replaced the yogurt with 2 flax eggs + quarter cup of coconut cream.

[@christinak8090]

I made this yesterday and it was delicious! My family loved it and they all want me to make it again :)

[@tanieshapostsaboutthings]

AH! I have all of these ingredients in my house! Totally making this after work :D

[@fionamacaonghusa1353]

Thanks Lauren - third time making this cake...we’re getting better results each time.

[@hotforfood]

Great to hear!

[@erikaochoa4480]

Lauren your so cute and amazing you should have a meet greet in the fall would love to see you in person and hear you talk in person about vegan recepies, love all the recipes

[@nadiathescammer7304]

i made this today and it is literally the nicest cake ive ever eaten

[@annr.5962]

Hey Lauren, have you ever thought of owning a vegan restaurant or cafe in Toronto? The food would be amazing!

[@nicoleliston4699]

Yuuum coffee cake has been a favorite of mine since I was young. I would say that the cake doesn't necessarily need to taste like coffee at all since I will most definitely be drinking coffee while I eat it. I love how the bitterness of my coffee cuts the sweetness of the cake. Bite, sip, bite, sip... you get the idea ;)

[@alvaalgerbo1819]

Will be trying this soon! Probably using coffee in the frosting instead of milk and also make stronger coffee to go in the cake. That should enhance the coffee flavour :)

[@reachtrita]

Looks delicious :)) Please perfect the recipe and show us again 😋

[@hotforfood]

i dunno. it's pretty perfect ;)

[@abby69platt]

everything i ever wanted thanks lauren :)))))

[@saranchadajamjuntr4464]

This is probably my new favorite channel ;w;

[@TeenageHeadcase]

I'd use some Espresso powder (instant espresso powder), makes the taste much stronger, I use it in chocolate espresso cupcakes and it's delicious then :) The cake looks amazing as is though, can't wait to make it some time.

[@lilianalopez2280]

Made this and it turned out great! The first time that I baked and it worked!

[@choclatchipcookie]

I admire your passion and talent! :)

[@kezesz]

I think a coffee cake doesn't have to have a coffee taste, it is called coffee cake because it pair good with coffee :)

[@juicewrld5216]

I think it depends on where you're from! here in California most bakeries sell coffee cake that tastes like coffee but I recently saw Laura vitales coffee cake recipe and she didn't add coffee (she's from the east coast) hole that helped!

[@kezesz]

***** you're right. Anyways, Lauren's coffee cake looks really good :)

[@_hazelbabe3330]

I just made this and it was sooooo delicious! I didnt have coconut oil so i measured out vegetable oil in a bowl and put it in the freezer for a bit

[@jennifergarcia5312]

Is it weird that I woke up this morning and got excited because I realized its Wednesday and that means a new video??

[@rachkate76]

Lauren you should poke heaps of holes in it with a skewer then pour a couple of tablespoons of the leftover pressed coffee in- then the whole cake will have more coffee flavour. 👍

[@omargomez8714]

My favorite vegan treat is a coffee milkshake with coconut milk, vanilla, some cold-brew, and some maple syrup, thickened with either chia seeds or flax

[@bananamonkeys2322]

Yesss, thank you! I LOVE coffee cake!

[@dexontape]

That french press has basically become a full member of the hot for food team

[@hotforfood]

third wheel ;)

[@CHuertaGalindo]

Omg yes ! My two favorite things , coffee and cake ! 😭💕

[@alisonjones3057]

love this music and the cake !

[@krumelkrams3054]

That looks delicious! ! Ima make this for our tee time! I'm gonna add some pecans though, I think that would give it a really nice crunch and texture! ♡

[@elisemarie4034]

Yes!! These vids are the best!!❤️

[@recordingmylife123]

Definitely using this for the holidays

[@cynv2808]

I'm surprised that people are saying that coffee cake isn't supposed to have coffee in it. All the coffee cakes I had, had coffee in it, I even had coffee cupcakes with a coffee icing on top. It's so delicious, I would be disappointed if a coffee didn't have coffee in it.

[@liberdedeum6748]

+amdg+ sweetie, coffee cake [my understanding, because I wondered about it too] is not supposed to taste like coffee, it's meant to be served with coffee the coconut yogurt is a good idea, and will definitely give this a try, maybe with almond slices on top, whatdya think? +pax Cristi!+

[@liberdedeum6748]

are you in Canada?

[@Oonagh72]

Coffee cake in the US is supposed to be served with coffee. The same as tea cakes are to be served with tea. However I find adding coffee to coffee cake is original.

[@magneramy]

coffee cake in the UK always has coffee in it rather than being eaten with a cup of coffee!

[@Oonagh72]

+cafeaulait_ and I just google teacakes and depending on what country you are in they are each a completely different confection. The only similarity being that they were meant to be served with tea. I love learning new stuff!

[@magneramy]

Oonagh72 I know! I've never heard of cake thats served with coffee until I found an American recipe for coffee cake and it didn't have any in so I just assumed it was a mistake!

[@darleensy]

immediately ditched school work for this

[@dedoubecool]

I'm teaching tomorrow and I ditched preparing my classes 😆 and it's almost 10pm... oh well.

[@hotforfood]

HAHAHA!

[@ShannonAlexis96]

Hey Lauren! Yaayy so excited! 🙌👋

[@a.w.9400]

that looks amazing! I think i'll try this recipe with apples instead of coffee! YUM

[@hodagamal]

Love your videos. You would be the reason I will bake in my own kitchen for the first time! I will report back with the results on this one.
