Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to a warm 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it is ready to create that perfectly baked sausage cake. -
Prepare the Pan
Take a tube pan and generously spray it with cooking spray, ensuring every inch is covered to prevent sticking. -
Combine Sausage and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breakfast sausage and brown sugar. Using your hands, mix them together thoroughly until the sausage is coated in the sweet sugar, creating a delightful blend of flavors. -
Add the Egg
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the sausage mixture, ensuring it is well combined into the mixture for added moisture and richness. -
Sift the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. This process aerates the flour, creating a lighter texture in your cake. -
Dredge the Pecans and Raisins
Take about 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and combine it with the chopped pecans and raisins. This dredging process helps to keep the fruits and nuts suspended throughout the cake rather than sinking to the bottom. -
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the sausage mixture, alternating with the strong black coffee. This helps to maintain a smooth consistency while blending the flavors beautifully. -
Incorporate Vanilla
Add the vanilla extract to the batter and beat the mixture well, ensuring that all ingredients are fully integrated. -
Fold in Dredged Ingredients
Carefully fold in the dredged pecans and raisins, combining them gently into the batter to ensure even distribution throughout the cake. -
Transfer to Pan
Pour the batter into the greased tube pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface. -
Bake
Place the tube pan into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the sausage cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm, or at room temperature, and enjoy this unique twist on a breakfast classic.
