1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups sugar

PEACH COFFEE CAKE (SWEET DOUGH)



Peach Coffee Cake (Sweet Dough) image

A recreation of my German grandma's recipe. Her preference was for Libby's brand peaches. When I can't find those, I use the most tender peaches I can get.

Provided by Antone

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 4h

Yield 2 cakes, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup warm milk, 105 degrees F
1 (1/4 ounce) packet active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
24 ounces peaches, canned in water

Steps:

  • This dough is a basic sweet dough. I use it for cinnamon rolls and monkey bread, as well. Combine the milk, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Let stand for 2 minutes to proof the yeast. Add the egg, butter, nutmeg, salt, and half of the flour. Mix until smooth, then beat for 2 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough onto floured surface and knead just enough to smooth the dough and thoroughly combine ingredients. Kneading makes gluten, so don't overdo it, or you'll lose tenderness. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • To assemble, punch the dough down, and divide in half. Roll the dough into discs and spread into the greased pans. Cover and let rise in the pan until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, mix the sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. Canned peach slices are usually too thick. Slice them as necessary to get reasonably thin pieces, about 1/2 inch.
  • When the cakes are risen, brush the dough with melted butter, and sprinkle with a mixture of sugars and cinnamon. Spread peaches over the top, covering as much dough as possible, and then sprinkle again with the sugar and cinnamon mix. You want a good, thick coating of sugar, to glaze the top.
  • Bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 20-25 minutes. The coffee cakes should be golden around the edges, but somewhat pasty where risen between the peach slices. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful peaches: The quality of your peaches will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Look for peaches that are fragrant, have a deep yellow or orange color, and give slightly when you press them gently.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the cake. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can have a bitter taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sweet peach cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, juicy peaches, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, dessert, or a special occasion, this cake is sure to please.
