These Coffee Cake Muffins with Vanilla Cardamom Glaze are perfect to enjoy in the morning with a cup of coffee or as a snack anytime!
Having Coffee Cake on Christmas morning right after everyone opens their stockings and before the main gifts is a tradition from Mark’s family. And this is one of those traditions that will continue on for a long time. But we decided to switch things up a bit this year with our own version of Coffee Cake Muffins with a Vanilla Cardamom Glaze! And we love the way these turned out and will add these to our Christmas morning tradition this year!
Does coffee cake usually have coffee?
Generally, coffee cake does not actually contain any coffee. The reason it is called coffee cake is because it perfectly pairs with your morning cup of coffee!

This version DOES, in fact, contain coffee because we love it and feel that the flavor addition here is subtle yet still nice. This is especially so when added to a sweet streusel and the vanilla cardamom glaze!
About the bakeware
For all of our baking needs, we turn to our Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware. One of the wonderful things about this bakeware is that it makes baking so much easier because of the nonstick quality of the pans with their interlocking nonstick layers. You do not have to worry about your muffins sticking to the pan, which makes the entire process and cleanup a breeze because they are dishwasher safe!
Find this muffin pan and the entire Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware set at Calphalon.com and use our promo code COOKWITHWINE25 for 25% off site-wide (excluding sale items).
