Butter Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Line and butter two 18cm sandwich tins. Add the sugar and butter to a bowl and whisk until very fluffy and pale.
• Whisk the eggs in a mug with a fork, then add them gradually to the mixture with 1 tbsp of flour each time. (Make sure you don't use all the flour.) When the eggs have been fully combined into the mix, add the rest of the flour and fold it in gently.
• Add the dissolved coffee to the mixture, still folding. Divide into the sandwich tins and cook for 25-30 min until risen and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Can be frozen at this stage.
• Meanwhile, make the icing by beating the icing sugar with the butter until light and fluffy, then add the dissolved coffee. Whisk, then cover and set aside until ready to ice the cake.
• Spread half the icing on the bottom of one sponge and spread the strawberry jam on the bottom of the other, if using. Sandwich together, then spread the remaining icing on top. Decorate with walnuts or cherries, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray two 9-inch square cake pans with cooking spray.
• Mix all dough ingred. together until moist, and beat 1 minute.
• Spread 1/4 of the dough in each pan.
• Mix all filling ingred. together.
• Divide filling in half and sprinkle over dough in each pan.
• Then divide remaining batter between each pan.
• Prepare streusel topping by mixing all ingred. together until crumbly and divide between two pans.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Meanwhile beat powdered sugar and butter together until creamy. Add vanilla and mix well. Add water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches drizzle consistency.
• Drizzle the baked cakes while warm.

Steps:

• For the crumb topping: Put the flour, brown sugar, apple pie spice and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until just incorporated.
• Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the apple butter on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine muffin mix and the first 1/4 cup wheat germ.
• In another bowl combine the egg, 1/2 cup apple butter, milk, and pumpkin or apple pie spice.
• Add the egg mixture all at once to the wheat germ mixture, stirring just till combined.
• Pour the batter into a greased 8x8x2-inch baking pan.
• For topping, in a small bowl stir together brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup wheat germ, and 1/4 cup apple butter.
• Spoon mixture in small mounds atop batter in pan.
• Using a knife, marble the mixture through the batter.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or till a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
• To serve, sift powdered sugar over each serving and serve with additional apple butter, if desired.
• Serve warm.
