Ah, the joys of language!

At least in the US, "coffee cake" is a sweet quickbread SERVED with
coffee, not flavored with coffee... (That's not to say there aren't
recipes that really do incorporate coffee!)

Think of a fairly dense, maybe egg-rich, cake, frequently with a
cinnamon-sugar strewn topping, often with nuts and/or fruit mixed in.
