This light and fluffy Red Velvet Coffee Cake is so moist and unbelievably scrumptious! The brown sugar topping adds an irresistible crunch! This is a must make!
You guys, I cannot stress enough how important it is that you make this Red Velvet Coffee Cake as soon as possible. Even if you don’t like red velvet cake. Even if you don’t like coffee cake. I will give you a money back guarantee that you will love this cake!
So a couple days ago I had the brilliant idea for this cake. I have told you before that I am not a big “cutesy” food person, but this cake is pretty and red, and that makes it perfect for Valentine’s Day (or Christmas) without having to make it in the shape of a cupid…or a heart. It looks festive as is!
I decided to google Red Velvet Coffee Cake to see if it is something that has already been done a hundred million times. I was giddy when I could not find a single Red Velvet Coffee Cake recipe!! I searched high and low and kept coming up with nothing.
I told my hubby I was going to make the very first Red Velvet Coffee Cake, and it was going to be awesome.
So I did. And it is!!! (see this photo on Instagram to see proof of the deliciousness) My hubby told me I can now add “inventor” to my resume. Haha! Who wouldn’t want to hire the inventor of Red Velvet Coffee Cake?!
You just have to trust me on this one. Make this cake!! You will be so happy you did. It has the perfect texture – light and moist, and the flavor is spot on. The mini chocolate chips scattered throughout kick it up a notch in the chocolate department. Always a good thing. And don’t even get me started on the crunchy topping.
Are you convinced yet?
Ok good. Share it with someone you love 🙂

Paula B. says
why not just buttermilk, like traditional red velvet cake?? just curious
Stephanie Brubaker says
You could certainly use buttermilk if you wanted to! The vinegar helps the red pop more and I feel like most people have it on hand vs buttermilk 🙂
