Coffeecake is a sweet, rich, breadlike cake flavored with spices (especially cinnamon) often containing nuts and/or raisins, sometimes glazed (usually with melted sugar) or topped with streusel after baking. It usually has a crumb topping, and is traditionally served for breakfast or brunch, usually with coffee. The closest German cake would probably be stollen.
