Bavarian Coffee Cake Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED GERMAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For cake, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in water. Let stand 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine shortening, sugar and egg. Gradually mix in 2 cups flour, milk and yeast mixture. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half and press each half into a greased 11x7-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Combine all topping ingredients except peaches. Sprinkle over dough. Top with peach slices. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

BAVARIAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Put the gelatine in cold water to soak. Mix the sugar with the egg yolks. Bring the milk to the boil. Pour the mixture into the milk, cook until it reaches a velvety, creamy density without boiling, while continuously stirring with a whisk. Squeeze out the gelatine and add to the hot mixture and stir. Now, add the coffee and liqueur. Allow the mixture to cool, but don't let it turn solid. Whip the cream and add it to the cold mixture, folding it in from the bottom up. Fill 6 one-portion moulds or a large mould and put in the fridge for 6 hours. Dip the base of the mould into boiling water then turn the Bavarian cake out of the mould and onto a plate. Decorate with cream, chopped nuts, etc. We recommend using espresso coffee for this recipe.

VIOLA'S COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For the crumb topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine the walnuts, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• For the batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, allowing each to be fully incorporated. Add the vanilla paste and sour cream and beat until smooth.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add to the batter and mix until combined.
• Spread the batter in the prepared springform pan and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Place the cake, still in the pan, on a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Remove from the pan, then slice and serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

COFFEE BAVARIAN CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let stand until ready for use.
• Pour the milk into a small saucepan and whisk in the coffee granules. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the milk just to the boil, whisking to dissolve the coffee.
• Put the egg yolks into a bowl and whisk just to blend them. Add the sugar and continue to whisk.
• Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg yolks. Note: when you whisk in the hot milk, be sure to do it very slowly, or you will have scrambled eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium low heat.
• Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until mixture thickens and reaches 165°-170°F on an instant-read thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, dip a metal spoon in the sauce and run your finger down the middle of the the back of the spoon. It should leave a clear trail.
• Remove from heat and whisk in the gelatin until it is completely dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Place the bowl in the refrigerator and stir about every 5 minutes. After 20 minutes remove the mixture.
• Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cream into the custard.
• Lightly oil a 4-5 cup mold. Pour the custard into the mold and refrigerate, until set, at least every 2 hours.
