• NOTES: FOR BEST RESULTS DON'T OMIT OR SUBSTITUTE ANY INGREDIENT. USE ONLY SEASON-ALL BRAND SEASONED SALT. SACO BRAND BUTTERMILK SOLIDS IS SOLD AT SMART & FINAL STORES. EGG YOLK POWDER CAN BE ORDERED ONLINE. IF OMITTING BUTTERMILK SOLIDS, NONFAT DRY MILK POWDER OR EGG YOLK POWDER -- (1) REPLACE OMITTED INGREDIENTS EQUALLY WITH CAKE FLOUR IN THE DRY BATTER INGREDIENTS, AND (2) REPLACE OMITTED INGREDIENTS IN "LIQUID FORM", AS AN EGG WASH BEFORE BREADING (1 1/2 CUPS BUTTERMILK OR NONFAT MILK, 1 BEATEN EGG). THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COLOR RESULT FROM DIXIE FRY'S VERSION DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF BEET POWDER AND PAPRIKA OLEORESIN (COLORING AGENTS). REGARDING OREGANO AND MUSTARD POWDER MEASUREMENTS: 3/8 TEASPOON = 1/4 TEASPOON, PLUS ONE PINCH. SEE STEPS 7 AND 9 FOR DIXIE FRY'S APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES.

HOMEMADE DRAKE'S COFFEE CAKES RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• *Note #1: Yes, you really do need cake flour for these to turn out properly. Using all-purpose will produce dry and brittle cakes. **Note #2: If you forget to set the egg out in advance to warm up to room temperature, try submerging it in very warm water before you begin making the crumb. That way, by the time you need it for the cake, it will be ready. ***Note #3: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add a generous splash of lemon juice to the bottom of a 1/3 cup measuring cup and fill the rest with milk. Stir gently and set aside to curdle slightly. Make the crumb: Cut the stick of butter into 8 pieces and, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat on high for 1 minute. Stir briefly to finish melting any small chunk that remain, and set aside to cool slightly while you mix the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, salt and and flour and make sure the brown sugar is broken up and no large clumps remain. Slowly drizzle in the slightly-cooled butter while mixing with a fork. The batter will form many large clumps, some small clumps, and some dry mixture will remain at the bottom of the bowl (that's ok). Don't overmix; you want to retail those large clumps. Set aside the crumb for now. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Thoroughly coat a 12-muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt on low speed to combine. If the butter is straight out of the fridge, cut it into 6 pieces, lay them out on a plate, and microwave on high for 15 seconds. If the butter is at room temperature, just cut it into pieces (do not microwave). Leaving the mixer running, add butter one piece at a time and beat for a minute or so until the butter is incorporated and no chunks remain. Combine egg, yogurt, vanilla extract and buttermilk in a tupperware container and shake vigorously for a few seconds until completely smooth. Add to the mixer bowl and mix on medium high speed for about a minute just until it becomes light and fluffy. A few very small chunks of butter may remain, which is fine. Be careful not to overmix. Fill each cupcake cup about halfway with cake batter (I used a heaping 2-inch cookie scoop-ful for each, but you can also just eyeball it). Tap slightly to even out the batter. Spoon the topping over the batter to fill the fill the remaining half of the cups. Bake for 10 minutes, turn the pan around on the rack, and back for another 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before eating. Makes 12 cakes. Keeps for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
