Turkish Coffee Cake Recipes

TURKISH COFFEE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in the cezve and mix with a spoon. Put the cezve over very low heat and do not stir. After about 3 minutes, a thick foam rises to the surface. Just as the coffee is about to bubble up and overflow, immediately remove the cezve from the heat. Gently divide the foam between 2 demitasse cups, then place the cezve back on the heat for a few seconds. Pour the coffee into the cups, carefully pouring it down the sides of the cups in order not to disturb the foam. The coffee grains will settle at the bottom of the cup.

ROSCAS (TURKISH COFFEE CAKE RINGS WITH CLOVES)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the yeast, 3/4 cup of the flour and the cloves, then whisk in the water until smooth. Let stand uncovered for 10-20 minutes, until it begins to ferment. It may not puff up at all.
• Whisk the salt, oil, and sugar into the yeast slurry until smooth and the salt and sugar have dissolved. Stir in the remaining flour all at once.
• When the mix is a shaggy mess, turn it out onto a work surface and knead until fairly smooth, soft, and just a bit sticky.
• Put it in a warm, clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until at least doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or oil it.
• Divide dough in half. Roll one piece into a rectangle, then roll it up along the long side, evening it and lengthening it until it is about 24 inches long and 1 inch thick.
• Bring the ends together to form a ring, and pinch them together. Transfer to prepared sheet.
• Repeat with the other half of the dough.
• Cover the rings with plastic wrap and leave to rise until tripled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
• Put an oven rack in the upper third position, and preheat to 400°F.
• Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, and glaze the rings. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
• Slash the rings in a sunburst pattern, about 1/2 inch deep and about 2 inches apart to mark off serving sections.
• Bake 25-35 minutes, or until very brown. Rotate the pan about 20 minutes into baking.
• Cool rings on a rack.

• Pour couple of drops olive oil inside the cake mould and brush it every corner.
• Pour the cake batter into the mould then put in the middle of the oven. Set the timer for 40 minutes first. Then check out when alarm went off with wooden stick or tip of knife if the batter is still sticky then put another 10-15 minutes more to bake. When it's baked well take out from oven and leave outside to cool down 10-15 minutes. During these period you can cover the cake with clean tea towel which will keep the top crust more moist.

• TURKISH COFFEE TIPS:.
• ****** Many people have made note that the coffee did not foam the second boiling. Sorry about that. Maybe if, when you pour the coffee into the cup, you do it from up high. I think I read that somewhere.
• Turkish coffee must always be served with foam on top.
• If you can't find finely ground Arabic coffee, you can purchase a bag of coffee at any coffeehouse and ask them to grind it for Turkish coffee. You need to have a powder-like consistency.
• Do not stir after pouring into cups; the foam will collapse.
• Always use cold water.

TURKISH COFFEE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear. Pour into a double boiler along with the cream and milk. Whisk until the syrup has dissolved into the milk, then whisk in the egg yolks and instant coffee until completely incorporated.
• Set the double boiler insert over (but not touching) a pan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly until the custard has thickened and will stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the coffee grounds. Refrigerate several hours until cold.
