Slow Cooker Classic Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Line bottom and sides of 5-quart oval slow cooker with single sheet of cooking parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir Topping ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
• In large bowl, stir Cake ingredients until blended. Pour into slow cooker. Place folded, clean dish towel under cover of cooker. This will prevent condensation from dripping down onto cake. Cook on High heat setting 1 hour. Carefully remove slow cooker's ceramic insert, and rotate insert 180 degrees. Sprinkle topping over cake. Replace cover with dish towel under the cover. Continue to cook on High heat setting 30 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Transfer ceramic insert from slow cooker to cooling rack. Let stand 10 minutes. Using parchment paper, carefully lift cake out of ceramic insert, and transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Remove parchment paper.
• In small bowl, beat Glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and mix 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.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat the butter and granulated sugar together 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, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. 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 and re-invert onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• For the topping: Prepare a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the nuts, flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Stir to blend. Stir in the butter. The topping should form sandy clumps. Sprinkle the topping onto the baking sheet to break it up into smaller clumps. Refrigerate.
• For the coffee cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use butter to thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, "cream" the butter and sugar together until light yellow and smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Alternatively, this can be done with an electric hand mixer. Add the eggs, one by one, and beat until thoroughly integrated.
• Remove the topping from the refrigerator so it has a few minutes to come to room temperature before baking. Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream until smooth. Turn the mixer on low and alternate adding some of the flour mixture with some of the sour cream. Add the lemon zest. When all has been mixed, give the sides and the bottom of the bowl a scrape and blend to make sure the batter is thoroughly integrated.
• Transfer the batter to the greased baking pan and "tap" it lightly on the sides so it falls evenly in the pan and removes any air bubbles. Liberally sprinkle the cake with all of the topping. Take care to cover the whole top. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Line bottom and sides of 5-quart oval slow cooker with single sheet of cooking parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir first five ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
• In large bowl, stir Cake ingredients (cake mix, sour cream, butter, eggs) until blended. Pour into slow cooker. Place folded, clean dish towel under cover of cooker. This will prevent condensation from dripping down onto cake. Cook on High heat setting 1 hour. Carefully remove slow cooker's ceramic insert, and rotate insert 180 degrees. Sprinkle topping over cake. Replace cover with dish towel under the cover. Continue to cook on High heat setting 30 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Transfer ceramic insert from slow cooker to cooling rack. Let stand 10 minutes. Using parchment paper, carefully lift cake out of ceramic insert, and transfer to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Remove parchment paper.
• In small bowl, beat powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake.
• For an even easier version, you can skip the glaze, and sprinkle powdered sugar on top of cooled cake.
• If preferred, 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans can be mixed into the topping mixture.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F; coat 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
• For topping, in medium bowl, blend brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.
• With pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until crumbs form; chill.
• For cake, (if not using buttermilk) pour vinegar into a measuring cup; add enough milk to equal 1 cup.
• Set aside.
• In medium bow, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In large bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy, 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
• Working in batches, beat in milk mixture alternately with flour mixture.
• Scrape batter into pan.
• Sprinkle with topping.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
• Cool in pan on wire rack.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar; cut in squares.
• If you don't own a powdered sugar sifter, use a wire-mesh container or strainger to dust top of cake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or 2 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray.
• Make the brown butter streusel topping: Add the butter to a small light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally until the butter completely melted, then continue cooking, swirling or stirring with a heatproof spatula occasionally, until the butter bubbles and foams, then begins to brown as the foam subsides. Once the butter is golden brown and smells nutty, 5-8 minutes total, transfer to a heatproof container (make sure to get all the delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pot) and let cool to room temperature for 5-10 minutes before using.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, flour, and cinnamon. Add the browned butter and stir with a rubber spatula until well combined.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Make the cake: In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add a third of the flour to the butter mixture, beating on low speed to combine. Add half of the milk mixture and beat to incorporate. Continue alternating between the dry and wet ingredients, beating between each addition just to incorporate before adding the next. Do not overmix.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread all the way to the edges. (If using 2 9-inch round pans, spread about 1⅓ cups batter in each pan.) Sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter. Spread the remaining batter on top of the filling, all the way to the edges of the pan, then use a butter knife to gently swirl the filling into the batter. Crumble the streusel evenly on top.
• Bake the coffee cake until dark golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 minutes for a large pan or 50-55 minutes for 2 smaller pans.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving straight from the pan.
• Enjoy!

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 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan.
• In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender to the size of small peas.
• In a separate small bowl, beat the egg well, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the egg-milk mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Stir carefully until just blended.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Drizzle top with melted butter.
• In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of cake. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
