Ingredients
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup currant jelly
Instructions
-
Prepare the Yeast Mix
- In a large bowl, combine the active dry yeast and 1 cup of flour. ๐ฅฃ
-
-
Heat the Milk Mixture
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, shortening, sugar, and salt until warm, stirring gently to melt the shortening. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
-
Blend the Ingredients
- Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the yeast and flour. Add in the egg and lemon zest. ๐๐ฅ
-
Mix, Mix, Mix!
- Beat the mixture for about 30 seconds on low speed, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl constantly. Then, increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until well combined and smooth. ๐ฅ๐จ
-
Knead the Dough
- Gradually mix in enough of the remaining flour to create a moderately stiff dough. ๐พ
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. ๐ช๐ช๐ช
-
Shape Your Cake
- Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it on a greased baking surface. ๐ฅฎ
-
Create the Sunburst Design
- Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, make cuts in the dough radiating from the center, creating a sunburst pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through the dough! โ๏ธ
-
Add the Filling
- Warm the currant jelly slightly to make it easier to spread. Carefully spoon and spread the jelly into the cuts of the dough, allowing it to seep into the crevices. ๐
-
Let It Rise
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 20 minutes. The dough should double in size. โฐ๐ก๏ธ
-
Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
- Bake the Sunburst Coffee Cake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. ๐
-
Enjoy the Sunshine Cake
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. ๐ฐ๐
This Sunburst Coffee Cake is a delightful addition to any breakfast table or afternoon tea spread. Its intricate sunburst design and burst of currant jelly filling make it a visually stunning and flavorful treat. Enjoy the sunshine in every bite! โ๏ธ๐ฅฎโจ
