Mom loved coffee cake. Here is another coffee cake recipe but this one is made like a yeast bread, put in the fridge over night, rolled out in the morning, sprinkled with the filling and then rolled up and put in a tube pan, raised, and then baked. Served with a little lemon glaze, too. Thank you to Abraham Goldstein for sharing his pictures of this recipe. Enjoy!!

How To Make coffee cake 1952 (yeast)

  • 1
    Google a "YEAST CONVERSION TABLE" if you need to use a different kind of yeast.
  • 2
    Dough: Begin by crumbling your 1 cake of yeast (or equivalent) into the 1/4 cup of luke-warm milk plus 2 tsp sugar and let it sit while you prepare the rest of the dough recipe
  • 3
    Crumb together as if you were making pie dough, the flour, salt, butter and sugar
  • 4
    Lightly beat the egg yolks then add the cream and mix
  • 5
    Combine the egg yolk mix with the yeast milk and then add to the flour mixture and make the dough. Cover the dough and place in the fridge over night.
  • 6
    IN THE A.M. Pull the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface while it is still cold to about pizza dough thickness (about 1/4 inch or there abouts).
  • 7
    Sprinkle with the cinnamon, sugar, walnuts, and raisins.
  • 8
    Roll the dough up jelly-roll style and place in a tube pan. (The recipe does not say a greased pan but it might be helpful. You may put parchment paper on the bottom, instead, if you like.)
  • 9
    Then, let the dough rest and rise for the next 3 hours.
  • 10
    Bake 350 F, for 1 hour
  • 11
    After done baking, remove from pan and place on pretty plate. Let cool.
  • 12
    Glaze: Combine 1 cup Powdered sugar with two Tbsps of HOT water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Drizzle over cooled coffee cake and serve along side a nice hot cup of coffee.

    NOTE: Some other recipes that I checked used the left over egg whites (beaten stiff) as a layer under the filling ingredients after the dough is rolled out. But, I wondered about keeping them overnight in the fridge... ALSO: Some other recipes don't place it in a tube pan (which holds it's shape) but they place it on a cookie sheet, rolled up like a giant cinnamon roll. Which I think is prettier, but it makes it more "flat"... your choice.
