Yield Makes 2 nine-inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 cups warm milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted, plus more for bowl and pans
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 large eggs
2 packages instant active dry yeast
10 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
Poppy-Seed Filling

Steps:

  • Combine the warm water, milk, 4 tablespoons butter, salt, sugar, cardamom, and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Sprinkle yeast over top; let stand until foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • With the mixer running, gradually add flour. Mix until well combined; dough will be sticky. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and gently knead until dough forms a ball. Place in a large buttered bowl to rise, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter two 9-inch tube pans; sprinkle bottom of each with 1/4 cup brown sugar. Punch down dough; turn onto lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll into a rectangle that is about 14 by 17 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Brush a third of the remaining butter over the middle third of the dough, and sprinkle with 1 cup of the filling. Fold the bottom third of dough over the filling and overlap the top third, forming an envelope. Rotate the dough 90 degrees. Roll the dough again into a rectangle roughly the same size, and repeat with butter and half of the remaining filling. Repeat one more time, three rollings in all, using remaining filling. Rotate dough 90 degrees, and let rest, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, for 15 minutes. Roll dough one final time into a long rectangle, 11 by 17 inches and about 1 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch slice from the end of the dough. Pick it up, twisting it gently into a spiral. Place the twist in the bottom of the pan, forming a circle. Repeat, using remaining dough, filling each tube pan with 2 layers of twisted dough. Cover each cake with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake cakes until golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let rest in pans 15 minutes before inverting. Flip cakes over so attractive side is up. Serve cakes warm or at room temperature. After cooling completely, cakes can be frozen, wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap, up to 1 month.

Time 1h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ pound poppy seeds
1 cup milk
¼ cup margarine
¾ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Grind the poppy seeds in a mill or coffee grinder.

YEASTED COFFEE CAKE



Yeasted Coffee Cake image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 packages active dry yeast (1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream
1 2/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup gluten-free bread flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup sugar
Zest of 2 oranges
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together yeast and warm water; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and granulated sugar on medium speed, scraping down the sides of bowl with a spatula, as necessary. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula as necessary.
  • Add vinegar and vanilla; mix to combine. Slowly add sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add yeast mixture.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt. Add to mixer and mix on low until well combined and dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and just begins to form a ball.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Lightly flour the bottom of a large glass bowl; place dough in bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, 3 to 4 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
  • Make the filling: Place all of the ingredients except egg and cream in a medium bowl and stir until well combined.
  • Punch down dough. Transfer to a floured work surface. Let stand for 5 minutes. Roll out to an 18-inch square (about 1/8 inch thick). Spread filling over dough, reserving 1/2 cup and leaving a 1-inch border. Brush edges with egg wash. Tightly roll dough like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal, and fold in half to bring ends together to form a U. Twist 2 or 3 times to "braid." Butter a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan, and line with parchment, leaving 1-inch overhangs; butter parchment. Transfer dough to pan. Brush top with egg wash.
  • Make the crumb topping: Combine confectioners' sugar, flour, and butter. Sprinkle topping and reserved 1/2 cup filling over cake.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drape plastic wrap over dough. Let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Remove plastic wrap, and bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, about 55 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Bake until deeply golden, 20 to 30 minutes more (cover with foil if top gets too dark). Transfer pan to a wire rack. Let cake cool.

RICH YEASTED COFFEECAKE WITH SWEET CHEESE FILLING



Rich Yeasted Coffeecake With Sweet Cheese Filling image

This is a tender, buttery briochelike coffee cake with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The recipe is from the Baking Illustrated Cookbook (from the people at America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated). It makes a great holiday or weekend breakfast or brunch dish. The cake is fabulous with the icing and struesel but you can omit these if you are looking for a cake that is not so sweet. The recipe is easy, but you do have to start this ahead of time to allow the dough time to rise. This makes 2 medium cakes. If you only want one, halve the recipe. Cooking time does not include rising time. I recommend that you prep the cakes the day before, refrigerate overnight, and just bake them in the morning.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 cakes, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast (2 envelopes )
1/4 cup warm water (about 110 F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces)
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (21 1/4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces and softened but still cool (2 sticks)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened but still cool
1/4 cup granulated sugar (1 3/4 ounces)
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar (2 1/3 ounces) or 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (2 1/3 ounces)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (2 1/2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted (3 ounces)
3 1/2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 teaspoon heavy cream (preferably) or 1 teaspoon whole milk

Steps:

  • For the Dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer; stir to dissolve. Add the sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla; attach the paddle and mix at the lowest speed until well combined. Add 3 1/4 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing at low speed until the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-low and add the butter pieces 1 at a time, beating until incorporated, about 20 seconds after each addition (total mixing time should be about 5 minutes). Replace the paddle with the dough hook and add the remaining 1 cup flour; knead at medium-low speed until soft and smooth, about 5 minutes longer. Increase the speed to medium and knead until the dough tightens up slightly, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Scrape the dough (which will be too soft to pick up with your hands) into a straight-sided lightly oiled plastic container or bowl using a plastic dough scraper. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at warm room temperature until doubled in size, 3 to 4 hours. Press down the dough, replace the plastic, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 or up to 24 hours. Alternatively, for a quick chill, spread the dough about 1 inch thick on a baking sheet, cover with plastic, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
  • For the Filling: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer at high speed until smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest, egg, and vanilla. Reduce the speed to medium and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and chill thoroughly before using. (The filling can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.).
  • For the Streusel: Mix the brown and granulated sugars, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Add the butter and toss to coat. Pinch the butter chunks and dry mixture between your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly. Chill thoroughly before using. (The streusel can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.).
  • For the Icing: Whisk all the ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. (The icing can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week. Thin with a few drops of milk before using.).
  • When you are ready to shape the coffeecakes,remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, scraping the container sides with a rubber spatula if necessary. Divide the dough in half for 2 cakes.
  • Working with a half recipe of cold dough at a time, shape the dough into a log about 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Using your outstretched hands, roll the log evenly into a 40-inch rope about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Loosely coil the rope in a spiral pattern, leaving a 1/4-inch space between coils. Tuck the end under and pinch to secure. Place the coil on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with second half of dough.
  • Proof until slightly puffed (they will not increase in volume as dramatically as a leaner bread dough), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (After this final rise, the unbaked cakes can be refrigerated overnight and baked the next morning.).
  • For the Egg Wash: Beat the egg and cream in a small bowl until combined.
  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350°F Working with and baking one coffeecake at a time, brush with egg wash evenly over the exposed dough. Place half of the filling over the center of the top, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around the perimeter. Sprinkle the top evenly with half of the streusel. Slide the baking sheet onto a second baking sheet to prevent the bottom crust from overbrowning and bake until deep golden brown and/or an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the cake reads 190 F, 25 to 30 minutes. Slide the parchment with the coffeecake onto a wire rack and cool at least 20 minutes. Drizzle the cake with half the icing and serve.
