New York Style Coffee Cake – delicious moist coffee cake topped with a crumb topping. The BEST coffee cake!
I’ve been hearing rumors that Starbucks has done a complete overhaul of their pastries and that, my friends, makes me sad. I love cupcakes and cake pops (lies) as much as the next person, but who wants that with coffee? Hey Starbucks, quit trying to keep up with the trends and stick with things that go with coffee… like uhh, coffee cake.
Anyway.
This coffee cake is a lot like one of my favorite Starbucks pastries, the New York Style Coffee Cake. Except I think Starbucks calls (called?) it crumb cake. Or I called it crumb cake. Once of us definitely called it crumb cake.
The cake is so soft thanks to the yogurt in the recipe. And by the way, I used honey flavored Greek yogurt in this and it turned out fantastic. If you have some in your fridge, use it for this cake! The crumb topping is unbelievable. I could have eaten the entire recipe of crumb topping by itself. If you’re into nuts, I think you could get away with tossing some finely chopped walnuts or pecans into the topping too.

Your crumb cake looks delish and those big chunks of goodness really seal the deal.

Yum, I love the big chunks for the topping! I can’t wait to try…especially since it has the name “New York” in the title. It must be good!

I agree- if you call yourself a coffee shop you’ve got to have coffee cake!

I’d heard that about Starbucks too but my co-worker buys lunch there pretty much every day and says he can’t tell a difference.
I’ve been itching to try this recipe. It looks great.

This won’t last long in our house. I love crumb topping on anything! And on this cake? Yes please!

I totally agree with you! Give me a piece of coffee cake or pumpkin loaf over a cupcake or cake pop! This recipe looks great!

I’m all about coffee cake but I always worry that the “cake” part is so boring and the topping is the only good part…I don’t think that’s the case with this one though! Must make!
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
Mmmmm coffee cake rarely lasts long around here.
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
YUM! I love anything with a crumb topping.
Caragh says
I run a Starbucks, the coffee cake is still available for purchase. The cake pops are intended for kids or people looking for a smaller treat.

This looks like the perfect gift for my Starbucks-obsessed friend! Thanks for sharing!
Chris says
