BAVARIAN COFFEE CAKE

• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until done.

COFFEE BAVARIAN CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let stand until ready for use.
• Pour the milk into a small saucepan and whisk in the coffee granules. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the milk just to the boil, whisking to dissolve the coffee.
• Put the egg yolks into a bowl and whisk just to blend them. Add the sugar and continue to whisk.
• Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg yolks. Note: when you whisk in the hot milk, be sure to do it very slowly, or you will have scrambled eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium low heat.
• Cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the pan, until mixture thickens and reaches 165°-170°F on an instant-read thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, dip a metal spoon in the sauce and run your finger down the middle of the the back of the spoon. It should leave a clear trail.
• Remove from heat and whisk in the gelatin until it is completely dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Place the bowl in the refrigerator and stir about every 5 minutes. After 20 minutes remove the mixture.
• Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cream into the custard.
• Lightly oil a 4-5 cup mold. Pour the custard into the mold and refrigerate, until set, at least every 2 hours.

OLD-FASHIONED GERMAN COFFEE CAKE

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.

BAVARIAN SUGAR CAKE

Steps:

• Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your bread machine. Program the machine for Dough or Manual cycle and press Start. Check the dough after about 10 minutes and adjust the consistency by adding flour or water as needed; the dough should be fairly sticky and slack. (I added a couple Tbsp water).
• When the machine has completed the cycle, remove the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. (I let it rise an extra 40 minutes after the cycle was complete and then I turned it out onto a buttered pastry board not floured and let it rest for about 10 minutes before rolling out).
• Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan. Press the dough into the prepared pan with your fingers, stretching it to cover the bottom of the pan. (I rolled it out on buttered pastry board first and then fit it into the pan).
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it is doubled in bulk, 30 to 45 minutes. With two fingers, punch deep holes all over the dough. (When punching holes in dough, if holes do not remain, it has not risen enough).
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle it over the dough. Drizzle the cream evenly on top.
• Bake the cake in a preheated 350º oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a light golden color. Remove cake from oven, and serve it warm from pan.
