German Peach Coffee Cake Recipes

PEACH KUCHEN (GERMAN PEACH CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, mace in a mixing bowl and stir well with a whisk. Add the cold butter pieces and incorporate to blend with the flour until it becomes fine crumbs.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk milk and egg well. Pour the milk mixture over the flour mixture. Mix with a fork just until it becomes wet.
• Spread the batter on the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange the peach slices on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• To make the custard cream, combine 1/4 cups of cream with flour in a medium mixing bowl, and whisk together to get rid of big lumps. Add the rest of the cream, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt; whisk well to mix.
• Take the cake out of oven, and pour the cream mixture on top. Put the cake back in the oven, and immediately reduce the heat to 350˚F. Continue to bake the cake for 35-40 minutes.
• When the cake top is puffed, the edges are deep golden and starting to separate from the pan, the cake is done. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling rack.

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.

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.

CRUMB COFFEE CAKE WITH PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and lightly flour a 2-part 10-inch tube pan.
• Combine flour, sugar, butter, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a fork or pastry knife to blend all ingredients. Measure 1 cup of the flour-butter mixture and set aside. Add baking powder and baking soda to the large bowl, and stir well.
• Whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla together in a second bowl. Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir, briskly, with a whisk, until mixture is very smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Spoon batter into prepared pan, smoothing and leveling the top.
• Warm peach preserves in the microwave or in a small pot and smash any large fruit pieces. Spoon warm preserves on top of the batter.
• Combine reserved flour-butter mixture, chopped almonds, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle crumbs evenly on top of the preserves.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer pan to a rack and cool for about 10 minutes. Remove the outer part of the tube pan and continue cooling, about 10 minutes. Slide a knife around the bottom of the cake to loosen from the pan. Using a spatula in each hand, lift the cake from the tube portion of the pan and place on a serving plate. Serve warm.

PEACH COBBLER COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. (Allow 1 inch or so of parchment to hang over the sides of the pan if you wish to remove your cake from the pan to slice and serve.)
• Prepare the topping: Whisk together flour, pecans, white and brown sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Add butter pieces and use a fork to work them into the dry mixture, stirring and cutting until combined. Refrigerate topping mixture until needed.
• Prepare the peach filling: Combine peach slices, 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan; gently toss to combine and coat. Place the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and mixture becomes thick and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Prepare the cake: Beat together sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until combined and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Whisk together buttermilk and sour cream in another separate bowl.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beating at a low speed to combine.
• Pour about 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar from the filling over the batter; use a silicone spatula to gently smooth into an even layer. Spoon the peach filling evenly over the brown sugar; again, use a silicone spatula to gently smooth into an even layer. Spread the remaining batter over the peach filling. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the cake.
• Bake cake in the preheated oven until golden brown at the edges and cooked through, 70 to 80 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. (Cover the pan with aluminum foil after the first hour of baking if the topping looks dark enough.) Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 to 40 minutes before slicing.
