About Cornell coffee cake

Cornell Coffee Cake is a uniquely crafted treat developed as part of a nutrition science project at Cornell University during the mid-20th century. This cake incorporates soy flour and nonfat dry milk, making it a protein-enriched alternative to traditional coffee cakes. The recipe includes typical ingredients such as all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and baking powder, along with its nutritious additions, blending classic dessert flavors with a nutritional boost. Originating from American cuisine, it reflects efforts to create healthier baked goods without compromising taste. While its enhanced protein content and moderate use of fat cater to balanced diets, the cake still contains added sugar and butter, which should be consumed in moderation. Cornell Coffee Cake is ideal for those seeking a healthier approach to indulgence, bridging the gap between satisfying desserts and mindful eating practices.
