Can I make coffee cake ahead of time
Of course! If you’re making it the night before serving, be sure to wrap the coffee cake tightly in plastic wrap then store in a ziplock bag after it has completely cooled. If your making this a few days prior, bake as recommended then allow to cool completely. Wrap in plastic wrap then place in ziplock back, freeze until ready to serve.
Can I freeze coffee cake?
Yes! Be sure to wrap it tightly. Freeze for up to one month. Once ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours.

The photo shows a cake from I am guessing a springform pan but your recipe calls for a 9×13 in pan. Which is correct? I would like to make it in a 9 in springform pan, would that work with the current recipe?

My cake has been in the oven about 55 minutes already. The recipe says 30 to 35 minutes at 350°. I have an oven thermometer and I am a baker. Please check your recipe as I believe that this Hass to be wrong.
