"I found this recipe on the Taste of Home website. It takes a little longer to prepare than most coffee cakes since you have to allow for rising time, but it is by far the best coffee cake I have ever had and well worth the extra prep time it takes!"

directions

  • Heat milk, butter 1/3 cup sugar and salt; stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside. Mix yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar; let stand 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups flour, milk mixture, yeast and eggs; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.

  • Meanwhile, prepare topping.

  • With a fork, pierce entire cake top.
  • Divide topping and sprinkle over each cake.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
  • For filling, combine flour and milk in a saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
  • Cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream remaining ingredients until well-mixed. Add flour mixture and beat until fluffy.
  • Cut each cake in half horizontally; spread each with half the filling.

I grew up in Alaska, but am living in Indiana while my husband gets his MBA at Purdue. I love to cook but HATE cleaning up afterwards. :-P Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who often cleans up my mess. God has blessed me with a great man. I love spending time with my husband and my baby, an adorable Siamese kitten who keeps me on my toes.
