Coffee cakes may be leavened using two different leavening methods. One type is leavened by baking powder or baking soda included in the ingredients and another variety is leavened with yeast. Coffee cakes can be baked in most any style or type of baking pan. Some of the more popular baking pans used are bundt pans, tube pans, loaf pans, and rectangular, square or round cake pans.

A decorated cake will require care in how it is stored so that the frosting design is not disturbed; whereas, an undecorated cake must be stored properly to maintain freshness. If the cake is frozen for storing, it is important to thaw it properly.
