Description:
This delightful Never Fail Coffee Cake recipe holds a special place in my heart as it reminds me of the cherished moments spent with my talented mother-in-law, who was an exceptional cook. It evokes the flavors reminiscent of the famous Racine Kringle Coffee Cakes from Racine, Wisconsin. With a tender crumb and a hint of sweetness, this coffee cake is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. |
| 2 | Add the margarine and beat until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, similar to pie crust dough. |
| 3 | Dissolve the yeast in warm water. |
| 4 | Pour the dissolved yeast and milk into the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together rapidly. |
| 5 | At this point, you have two options: you can either wrap the dough in wax paper and refrigerate it overnight for enhanced flavor, or you can proceed with rolling it out thinly and filling it with the “SOLO” filling. If using the filling, fold the front third of the dough to the center, then fold the back third over it. Fold the ends over and pinch to seal. |
| 6 | Place the prepared dough on a cookie sheet and let it rise for 30 minutes. Although it won’t rise significantly, this resting period allows the flavors to develop. |
| 7 | Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 8 | Bake the coffee cakes for about 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. |
| 9 | While the cakes are baking, prepare the frosting by combining butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary. |
| 10 | Once the coffee cakes are baked and cooled, frost them generously with the prepared frosting. |
| 11 | For future enjoyment, you can freeze the coffee cakes and frost them later. Simply thaw them at room temperature before frosting. |
