Zubereitung von Traditional Coffee Cake
- Scald milk and shortening: In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium-low heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shortening until melted.
- Cool the milk mixture: Set aside to cool until lukewarm (approximately 105-115°F).
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand until foamy (about 5-10 minutes).
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the foamy yeast mixture to the lukewarm milk mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients. Beat well with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until combined.
- First rise: Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours). The batter should be the consistency of thick pancake batter.
- Punch down the dough: Gently punch down the risen dough to release the air.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add 2 large beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup raisins, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Incorporate flour: Gradually add 4-5 cups additional all-purpose flour, kneading until a soft, elastic dough forms. Knead for at least 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Second rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise again until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Shape and pan: Punch down the dough and divide it into five equal portions. Shape each portion into a round loaf and place it in a greased 9-inch pie pan.
- Top with butter and cinnamon sugar: Brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the buttered loaves.
- Final rise: Let the loaves rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes, or until golden brown. If browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) for the remaining baking time.
- Cool and serve: Let the coffee cake cool completely before slicing into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve and enjoy! Great toasted!
