One very useful suggestion to get a great coffee cake, use egg whites. When preparing the recipe, start separating the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites for a few minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Proceed with the preparation of the cake batter as usual and, finally, carefully add the egg whites. This step will aerate the cake, resulting in an incredibly smooth texture. Gently mix the ingredients. An interesting tip is to grease the mold and sprinkle sugar instead of flour. This suggestion ensures that your cake has a light, crispy and deliciously sweet crust.

Currently, there are several variations of the Coffee Cake, such as the inclusion of nuts, chocolate, almonds or fruits. These adapted versions only add to the versatility of this candy.
