Nut Roll Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the contents of the roll mix and yeast packets with the sugar. Stir in water, butter, egg and maple flavoring; mix well., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 45-60 minutes., In a small bowl, combine sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and maple flavoring. Grease a 12-in. pizza pan. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 3 portions. Roll each into a 12-in. circle. Place 1 circle on prepared pan. Brush with a third of the melted butter; sprinkle with a third of the filling. Repeat layers twice. Pinch around edge to seal., Place a small glass in center of circle. With kitchen scissors, cut from outside edge just to the glass, forming 16 wedges. Twist each wedge 5 or 6 times and tuck ends under. Remove glass. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, 30-45 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm coffee cake.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened; set aside. In a small bowl, combine topping ingredients. , Spread half of batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the topping. Carefully spread remaining batter over top; sprinkle with remaining topping. , Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• GETTING READY:.
• Put out the eggs and margarine a few hours ahead to make sure they are "room temperature" before you begin. (TIP: margarine MUST be room temperature, but eggs may be warmed by cracking into a bowl and setting bowl into another bowl of hot water and stirring until the chill is removed)
• Measure 6 1/2 c flour into large bowl and then separate out 1 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup from the bowl for separate additions. You may not end up using all 6 1/2 cups in the recipe. I try not to use all the flour as too much flour makes the bread dry and not as "yeasty".
• FILLING.
• Mix together the filling ingredients, divide into 3 equal amounts and refrigerate while making dough.
• MAKING DOUGH:.
• Mix together 1 1/4 c flour, sugar, salt & yeast.
• Add margarine.
• Gradually add tap water & beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
• Add eggs and 1/4 cup flour.
• Beat on high for 2 minutes.
• Stir in enough flour to make soft dough (it will be soft and pliable and you can handle it without it sticking to your hands).
• Turn out on LIGHTLY floured board and knead for 8-10 minutes (today I use my Kitchenaid with a dough hook for 3-4 minutes).
• Divide dough into 3 equal pieces.
• Roll one piece into a 9 x 15 inch rectangle.
• Cut into 3 length-wise strips (3 x 15 each).
• Spread center of each strip with filling.
• Seal each one to make 3 ropes.
• Braid the 3 ropes, tucking ends under.
• Wrap loosely with plastic wrap and freeze.
• Repeat the process (steps 14-19) by rolling out, cutting, filling and braiding the remaining two piecies of dough.
• When frozen, wrap each of the braided nut rolls tightly in plastic wrap and hold in freezer up to 6 weeks).
• TO THAW and RAISE:.
• Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Let stand covered loosely with plastic wrap at room temperature 8-12 hours (overnight)until raised. Draft-free is better so I put mine in a unheated oven overnight for this step.
• TO BAKE:.
• Remove plastic wrap.
• Put bread in oven, set timer for 12-15 minutes and start oven at 375. (Bread will raise a little more during pre-heating, OR preheat oven at 375 and bake for 10-13 minutes. I've done it both ways).
• Top should be slightly golden - don't let bottom get too brown.
• Remove from oven and drizzle with glaze.
• Serve while warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 13-by- 18-inch rimmed baking sheet with oil. Line bottom with parchment; brush parchment with oil.
• Cake: Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder to combine. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk hot water with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until dissolved. Whisk in oil, then egg yolks and vanilla until smooth. Whisk flour mixture into sugar mixture just until combined. In a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-low speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar, increase speed to medium-high, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir one-third of egg whites into batter. Gently fold in remaining egg whites just until no white streaks remain. Transfer to sheet; spread evenly to edges with an offset spatula.
• Bake until pale golden and pulling away from edges, and top springs back when lightly touched, 17 to 19 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 5 minutes. Meanwhile, generously dust a kitchen towel with confectioners' sugar. Flip cake out onto towel, remove parchment, and generously dust top with more confectioners' sugar. Starting at one short end, roll up cake in towel. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Syrup: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons water to a boil, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat; whisk in espresso powder until dissolved (mixture will foam). Transfer to a heatproof bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Filling: Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and salt. Cover; cook over medium heat, swirling a few times, until boiling and sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Uncover and continue boiling, undisturbed, until mixture turns golden amber, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from heat. Carefully add cream in a slow, steady stream (it will bubble up and splatter). Return to medium heat; cook, stirring, until smooth. Transfer to a bowl set in ice-water bath; let stand, stirring a few times, until cold, about 30 minutes. Remove from bath; whisk to stiff peaks.
• Unroll cake. Brush any residual sugar from top, then brush evenly with espresso syrup. Dollop with filling and spread evenly with an offset spatula, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at one short end, roll up cake (without towel). Wrap cake roll in towel and transfer to a baking sheet, seam-side down, to maintain cylindrical shape. Refrigerate until filling sets, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Frosting: In a saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a simmer over medium heat. In a large heatproof bowl, combine egg whites, granulated sugar, cream of tartar, corn syrup, and water. Transfer bowl to pan (do not let bottom touch water). Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Remove bowl from heat; continue beating on high until mixture is no longer warm to the touch, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove cake roll from towel; transfer to a cake plate. Spread frosting evenly over top and sides. (Frosted cake can be refrigerated, uncovered, up to 3 hours before slicing and serving.) Briefly wave a kitchen torch over frosting until golden brown in places. Slice cake into rounds; serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth. , Spoon a third of batter into a greased 10-in. tube pan. Combine cinnamon, nuts and remaining sugar; sprinkle a third over batter in pan. Repeat layers 2 more times. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine the dry ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in apples and walnuts. Transfer to an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the sugar mixture alternately with yogurt. Stir in raisins. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. , Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle half over batter. Top with remaining batter and topping. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl the topping. , Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
