Is oil or butter better for coffee cake?

[culinary_connoisseur]

Yo, fam, quick question for y'all baking wizards. When whipping up coffee cake, what's the verdict: oil or butter? I'm vibing with trying to get that perfect moistness and flavor. Oil seems chill for keeping things soft, but butter brings that rich taste we all crave. Thoughts?

For that melt-in-your-mouth magic, butter takes the cake (literally!). Its rich flavor adds an extra layer of yum to your coffee cake masterpiece.

Coffee cake recipes can call for either butter or oil, with somewhat different outcomes for each. Oil gives cakes a more moisturising texture and can help them stay moist for extended periods of time. But butter gives a deep flavour and might make the texture a little thicker. In the end, dietary restrictions and personal preference will determine which oil or butter is used.
