Recipe Needed For a Moist Coffee Cake

I have yet to find a recipe for a coffee cake that doesn't turn out dry. Can anyone help out?

You sound like you have tried a few - are you separating the eggs and whipping the whites? I find this can make cakes dry and/or crumbly and have used whole in the past to avoid this. However a baker I am not.

I am sure we had a thread about coffee cakes a while ago. will try and find it and bump it up for you.

Found this post:
here some nice recipes and add some choc chips about 1/2 cup

Thanks to you all. With the exception of the last two recipes, I have tried all the others and even learned something. I didn't know that separating the eggs would result in dryness. I have been wondering about replacing the butter with vegetable oil or adding a few tablespoons of oil to the wet ingredients. What do you think?
The last one I attempted (last weekend) was too dry but the icing was great. butter, icing sugar, cocoa, instant coffee and vanilla essence.

Simply add coffee liqueur and or espresso coffee shot to a rich dark chocolate cake mix?

Now that's an idea! Thanx.

This recipe here is moist. I have made into a cake even though it is a cupcake recipe. Has strong coffee flavour.

If you use salted butter then leave the salt out.

This was also on the site but I have not made this one. I love the espresso cupcake recipe. I find that chocolate masks the flavour of coffee but if you add coffee to chocolate cakes then it enhances the chocolate flavour. Adding salt to coffee only cakes brings out the coffee flavour. The above cupcake recipe also makes a great vanilla cupcake or cake recipe and to make chocolate cupcake take out 20g of flour and add 20g of cocoa.

Oh I love coffee cake. thanks for all these coffee cake recipes!

Look up Austrian Coffee Cake recipe. I am at work and the recipe is at home. My mother makes this cake and it is delicious. You pour brandy and coffee over the cake once cooked and it is moist and delicious. Top with whipped cream and toasted almonds and it is divine!
