Tips:
- Prepare the yeast mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy. This step activates the yeast and ensures that it is working properly.
- Use softened butter: Softened butter is easier to mix into the dough and will result in a more tender crumb. To soften butter, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will develop the gluten too much and result in a tough crumb. Mix the dough just until it comes together and is smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, will help the dough rise quickly.
- Fill the coffee cake pan halfway: The dough will rise and expand during baking, so it is important to only fill the pan halfway. This will prevent the coffee cake from overflowing.
- Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the coffee cake is cooked through. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
