GERMAN COFFEE CAKE WITH NUTS AND CHOCOLATE ( NUSSKUCHEN )
My most requested recipe. It also got me the sweetest compliment I ever had on my baking. - When the five year old french niece of my best friend came visiting with her parents she was very shy. When she had tasted a little of the cake she insisted that everone present, please try the cake immediately, because "c'est le meilleur gateau du monde" - it is the best cake in the world! And that is what my friends call it now when requesting it. :) - We like it topped with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:
- Note: Time for cooling is not included.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180C). For best removal of cake: Thoroughly grease pan with melted butter. Put it in the fridge for 5 minutes. Remove, fill with 2 tablespoons flour, shake pan over the sink until evenly dusted with flour. Discard any loose flour. Keep dusted pan in fridge until filling.
- Mix flour with baking powder.
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a large clean bowl with clean beaters until stiff but not dry. Set aside.
- In another large bowl beat soft butter and sugar until creamy white and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beat until light in color and increased in volume, about 3 minutes.
- Put nuts and chocolate into bowl with the butter and egg yolks and mix a few seconds on low until just blended.
- Sift flour over mixture. Don't mix. Put 1 cup of egg white on flour.
- With a rubber spatula fold flour and the cup egg white into nut mixture, this will be rather stiff, but it does not need to be blended completely.
- Give rest of egg white on nut mixture and fold it in until completely blended. (If you try to mix in flour without egg white first and then fold in all of egg white at once, the flour mixture will be too firm to do this, therefore the two steps.).
- Fill batter evenly into pan.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 60-75 minutes. If it browns too much reduce heat by 15 degrees and cover loosely with parchment paper.
- Test doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the middle of the cake. If only melted chocolate but no crumbs stick to it the cake is done. Remove from oven.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then carefully lay it on the side and let cake slip out of form. You may cut with a thin knife along the sides between cake and pan to make sure it will come out.
- Best eaten while still a little warm but will keep several days. Dust with a little powdered sugar before serving if you like. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Serve with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
- Note: Using fresh unsalted butter, freshly ground nuts and a really good-quality chocolate are keys in making this cake really good. I usually make it with hazelnuts, and think this tastes slightly better than with walnuts :).

OLD-FASHIONED GERMAN COFFEE CAKE
"'MY mom served this moist coffee cake every Sunday after church, but the peach topping was reserved for special occasions, like when company came,' Dad says. 'Usually, she simply sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top.'"

Steps:
- For cake, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in water. Let stand 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine shortening, sugar and egg. Gradually mix in 2 cups flour, milk and yeast mixture. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Divide in half and press each half into a greased 11x7-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Combine all topping ingredients except peaches. Sprinkle over dough. Top with peach slices. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Scatter the pecans evenly over the baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool the nuts completely and chop.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream of coconut, and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter is completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt together until smooth. Slowly pour in about ¼ cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs, so they won't curdle, and then, whisking constantly, add the remainder of the milk in a steady stream. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the coconut and pecans.
- Let cool completely before frosting the cake. The frosting can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan or coat with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
- Put the chocolate in a medium bowl and pour in the hot coffee and vanilla. Let stand for about 2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir until smooth.
- While the chocolate is melting, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer), combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Let the mixer run on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes to aerate the flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until thick, satiny, and light in color. Whisk in the sour cream, being careful not to overmix; leave some visible streaks of white.
- Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
- With the mixer on medium speed, add the chocolate-sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients in thirds, mixing until well blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand (if using) and, using a rubber spatula, incorporate any ingredients hiding at the bottom of the bowl, making sure the batter is completely mixed.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pans firmly on the countertop to remove any air bubbles from the batter.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then use the parchment "handles" to lift the cake out of the pan and set it on the rack to cool completely.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter (you can keep the edges of the platter clean while you frost the cake by sliding strips of parchment underneath the cake). Frost the top and sides of the cake with the frosting.
- The cake can be stored, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
German chocolate cake is an American classic, named after a chocolatier called Samuel German (as opposed to the European nation). Milder than devil's food cake, this chocolate cake has layers that are subtle and sweet, chocolatey but not excessively so. They create a lovely, velvet-textured vehicle for the heaps of gooey, toasted coconut and pecan custard. For more chocolate appeal, rich ganache can be slathered on the sides. This not only adds another blissful layer of chocolate, but also neatens up the look and makes for a party-worthy presentation.

Steps:
- Bake the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans. Line the pans with parchment and butter the parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk to combine well. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl. Turn the mixer down to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, again scraping down the bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla and melted chocolate until smooth. In a small bowl, combine coffee and yogurt.
- With the mixer on low, add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix to combine. Add the coffee mixture and mix to combine. Then add the remaining flour mixture, scraping the bowl one more time to make sure everything has been combined. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, smooth the tops and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cakes in the pans to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes and invert them onto racks to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: On two separate trays lined with parchment paper, toast coconut and pecans at 325 degrees, stirring occasionally, until coconut is deep golden brown and nuts are fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully - coconut and nuts can quickly turn from golden to burned. Remove from oven, roughly chop the pecans, and transfer both coconut and pecans to a large bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, cook evaporated milk, egg yolks, brown sugar and salt over medium heat, whisking at first and then stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened enough to leave a line on the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture curdle. Lower the heat as necessary.
- Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until it has melted. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add the milk mixture to the coconut and pecans, stirring to combine. This mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.
- To assemble the cake, set one layer on a serving plate. Top with 1/3 of the coconut mixture. Repeat two more times, so the top of the cake is covered in coconut.
- If desired, finish with ganache: Heat heavy cream over medium heat until very hot. Place the chocolate in a medium bowl, and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes. Add salt and whisk until smooth. Let this mixture stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it is thick enough to spread around the sides of the cake.
