looking for coffee cake recipe

[laurenc]

I would like to make a coffee or crumb cake this weekend for my in-laws. Any tried-n-true recipes out there?

[aggie94]

I think the blueberry-pecan cake (from the one-bowl cake section in August?) would go great with coffee. I made a couple last week, one for home and one for the office, and they both disappeared quickly.

There was a great Cranberry - (some kind of)nut buttermilk coffee cake awhile back... Stunning! I think it was hazelnut, I used pecan and it was amazing...

[Nanci]

I made a great cranberry coffee cake from the Dec issue of CL. I'm not sure its the one Tigboo mentioned. But I would give it a definite thumbs up!!!!

Huckleberry Coffee Cake (or blueberries!) from CLs 5-star cookbook or i'm sure you can find it on the board somewhere. it's a popular one!

[laden]

I second the Huckleberry Coffee Cake (made with blueberries or raspberries). I've made it several times and it is soooo goood! Everyone loves it.

[mmanddf]

there is also a bluberry/almond coffee cake in the June 2000 issue that is awesome! I have made this about 10 times, and everyone raves...it's also real low in calories!

[Vanessa]

In the recipe finder type crumb cake . DH's favorite is the banana coconut and the rosemary lemon crumb cake but they are all easy and tasty

[Adriana]

Ditto on the recommendation for the June 2000 Blueberry Almond Coffee Cake. It is to die for! It is one of our family favorites.

[Mamasue]

The Cinnamon-Apple Coffee Cake from 1997 is very good too. Have you thought about Pound cakes? CL has some awesome pound cake recipes. :D

[laurenc]

Wow - great suggestions everyone.
Can someone do me a favor and post the blueberry-almond recipe.

vanessa thanks for the search idea -the coconut banana sounds really interesting.

[Adriana]

The only change that I recommend to this recipe is that you double it!

has some great coffeecake recipes (this is the fleischmann's site). I made a peach kuchen a couple of weeks back, and it was great. The recipe called for canned peaches, but I used fresh and it was excellent.


Here is the recipe:

Peach Kuchen

Makes 1 coffeecake

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 envelope FLEISCHMANN'S RapidRise Yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs, large
2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained
Cinnamon-Nut Topping (recipe follows)


In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat milk, water, and butter until very warm (120 to 130oF). Gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour to make a stiff batter. Turn into greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Arrange peaches in rows on top of batter. Sprinkle Cinnamon-Nut Topping evenly over peaches. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Bake at 375oF for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Serve warm or cool. Cut into squares to serve.

Cinnamon-Nut Topping:

In medium bowl, cut 1/4 cup butter into 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar until crumbly. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/3 cup chopped pecans. Stir until well blended.
