classic coffee cake

About This Food

Classic coffee cake, enjoyed by many as a sweet treat with coffee, contains 263.3 calories. It provides carbohydrates for energy and also contains fats. It may also have some calcium and iron depending on ingredients. While tasty, it tends to be high in sugar. Coffee cake may not be the best choice for those managing weight or blood sugar levels. A reasonable portion size of coffee cake per day could be a small slice, perhaps 1/8 of the cake. Due to its calorie density, it can contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess. My tip is to reduce the added sugar when baking to make it healthier.
