GERMAN COFFEE CAKE

German Coffee Cake image

This was passed down to me by my Mother-In-Law 48 years ago, as it has been through several generations now. This is a most requested recipe for every family gathering. Takes a while to make due to the rising times, and it does make a lot, but freezes well. I use 7 round cake pans however you can use any shape or size pan. I weigh out 16 ounces of dough for each round cake pan. Very worth while the time it takes. Using fresh flour and yeast will give you excellent results.

GERMAN BEER COFFEE CAKE, OVER A 100 YEAR OLD RECIPE

German Beer Coffee Cake, Over a 100 year old recipe image

Article from Womans Day Magazine. April/3/1984 For several years,guests at Babens kaffeeklatsches urged her to submit this moist and crunchy cake to Silver Spoon. But she was reluctant to let out the ancestral recipe. "Family means a lot to me," she says, and this has been a family secret for more than 100 years! Luckily Baben, who lives in Boon, No. Carolina, finally did part with her treasure. "It freezes well, but it also keeps almost forever at room temperature if you stick two slices of bread over the cut ends with toothpicks," she says.
