KUGELHOPF



Kugelhopf image

This is supposedly a recipe that Marie Antoinette took with her from Austria to France, where it became increasingly popular. It is traditionally baked in a special Kugelhopf mold, which gives it a festive look (it can be made in a tube pan) Thus it makes a delightful holiday bread. Kugelhopf is an excellent coffee cake or breakfast bread, especially with fresh butter and honey. It can also be served topped with fruit, and makes delicious toast indeed. I seached for this recipe for many years and finally found a Canadian Chef on the internet who was kind enough to give me this one... I get excited over this recipe because I am now 67 yrs old and I can remember my German Grandmother sitting at the kitchen table when I was 5 years old, beating this dough with a wooden spoon...what a wonderful memory and taste !!!

GUGELHUPF / KUGLOF / KUGELHOPF - GERMAN/HUNGARIAN COFFEE CAKE



Gugelhupf / Kuglof / Kugelhopf - German/Hungarian Coffee Cake image

However you spell it, it's a rolled coffee cake made from a raised dough that has a walnut/chocolate swirl inside. This recipe was given to me by both my Aunt (in-law) and Mother-in-law. The family always enjoy it during every holiday/family gathering and since I've been successful at making it, that job seems to have been past on to me- The tradition shall continue. Yay!

Time P2DT1h15m

Yield 12-16 slices, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
1/2 cup bread flour
1 3/4 cups unsalted butter
1/8 cup lemon rind (grated from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) package dry active yeast
1 cup skim milk
4 egg yolks
1 cup walnuts
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Into a food processor, place flours, lemon rinds, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and butter. Process until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, warm milk to about 115°F stir in remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar and package of yeast. Let sit until bubbly (about 10 minutes).
  • Separate 4 eggs - beat yolks and refrigerate whites, to save for filling.
  • Add yolks to the yeast mixture.
  • In large bowl place flour/butter crumbles and pour eggs/yeast over top.
  • Keeping it inside the bowl, mix and knead the dough one handed (use both hands if necessary) until smooth - IMPORTANT: dough will be very gooey and sticky- DO NOT add more flour, just work the bumps out.
  • Once dough is smooth - cover bowl tightly with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
  • Now work on your filling:.
  • Place walnuts, powdered sugar and cocoa into food processor. Chop until walnuts are finally grounded.
  • Transfer to a bowl and let sit inside refrigerator until dough is ready.
  • When dough is ready: Heavily flour your work surface. (I like to spread out a large cheese cloth on my surface and flour it.).
  • Remove dough from bowl and roll out into a large rectangle.
  • Once that is formed, remove egg whites and whip them in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in the grounded nut mixture.
  • Spread this filling over the dough rectangle and starting at one side, roll it up like a jelly roll. (this is when it helps to have the cheese cloth under it.).
  • Seal the finishing edge with a bit of water.
  • Now lift it carefully and place it into a well greased and floured bundt pan. (this task can be done alone, but helps if you have someone to help you lift the roll.).
  • Set pan in a cold oven to continue to rise for 2 1/2 hours or until dough is near the rim of the pan.
  • Now bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. If during that time the top begins to get too dark before it's ready, lay a piece of foil over the top.
  • Allow it cool, then turn out carefully.
  • Serve plain or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Refrigerate uneaten portions to maintain freshness. Slices are good cold or warmed in the microwave.
  • Enjoy!

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.

GUGELHUPF



Gugelhupf image

Gugelhupf is a classic German and Austrian cake that is baked in a gugelhupf pan, which is similar to a Bundt® pan, just a bit higher. Germans like their cakes on the dry side because they are traditionally eaten in the afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea ("Kaffee und Kuchen").

Categories     Breads

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon dark rum
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
1 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole blanched almond, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sliced blanched almond, for lining the mold

Steps:

  • Thickly butter a 6-8 cup gugelhupf pan (or other decorative tube pan).
  • Make the sponge: warm the milk over low heat in a small saucepan until it is just lukewarm, about 100°.
  • Transfer milk to a small bowl; whisk in yeast.
  • Stir in the flour and cover the bowl with plastic wrap; let the sponge rise until very puffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the raisins and rum; let raisins soak in rum while you prepare the dough.
  • Make the dough: use an electric stand mixer with paddle attachment-beat the butter with the sugar and salt on medium speed until soft and light, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the lemon zest and vanilla.
  • Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition.
  • Stop mixer and scrape the sponge into the bowl; beat on lowest speed until incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Drain raisins well, reserving the rum; beat the rum into the dough, then beat in the flour.
  • Beat the dough for 2 minutes on lowest speed, then stop the mixer and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Beat the dough on medium speed until it is smooth and elastic, about 2 additional minutes.
  • Decrease speed to lowest and beat in the raisins and the chopped almonds.
  • Scrape the dough into a buttered bowl and turn it over so that the top is buttered.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise until it just begins to puff, about 20 minutes.
  • Prepare mold: scatter the sliced almonds all over the buttered inside of the mold, rotating the mold to cover the buttered surface evenly with almonds.
  • Invert to mold to remove any of the almonds that have not stuck to the butter.
  • Using a large rubber spatula , carefully scrape the dough into prepared mold-try to avoid disturbing the sliced almonds.
  • Cover the mold with a towel or piece of buttered plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it is doubled (if using a 6-cup mold, the risen dough should reach the top of the mold; if you are using an 8-cup mold, the risen dough should reach about ½ inch short of the top).
  • About 15 minutes before the gugelhupf is risen, set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°.
  • Bake the gugelhupf until it is well risen and deep golden, about 40-45 minutes; pick should come out clean.
  • Cool gugelhupf in pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert it onto the rack, remove the mold and cool completely.
  • Serve: use a sharp serrated knife to cut into slices; storage: keep wrapped in plastic.
