Coffeecakes aren’t usually layer cakes. They aren’t quite as sweet as a regular cake; and have a larger texture to the batter (more like sweet breads) – that’s why they’re appropriate for breakfast with coffee:) … You could do a spice cake though, in layers with buttercream filling and icing (although I think cream cheese frosting is better)

This is a really delicious cinnamon roll;
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup warm milk
1 egg, room temperature
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
Serves 16.
In the pan of your bread machine, combine water, melted butter, vanilla pudding, warm milk, egg, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast. Set machine to Dough cycle; press Start.
When Dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 17×10 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over dough.
Roll up dough, beginning with long side. Slice into 16 one inch slices and place in 9×13 buttered pan. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. While rolls bake, stir together cream cheese, softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and milk. Remove rolls from oven and top with frosting.

Hi. I want to know a birthday cake recipe I could make for a thirteen year old girl. She doesn’t like cakes that are super duper sweet. I’m looking for a cake recipe that is a kind of like Tiramisu cake or Ice Cream cake. I already know about coffee cake. Ok then. Thanks for the help!!

Would really appreciate it. I don’t bake cakes, but this is the one I couldn’t mess up, unless I just flat out burned it!
