Coffeecake Meyerson Gourmet July 1985
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast In a small bowl proof the yeast in the milk for 15 minutes or unti
it is foamy. In a large bowl combine well the butter, sour cream, salt, eggs. sugar, and
yeast mixture, stir in the flour, and beat the mixture for 5 minutes, or until it forms a
dough. Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in
bulk. Punch down the dough with a spoon and chill it, covered, overnight. Let the dough
rise, covered with a dish towel, i a warm place for 1 hour. Roll the dough in to an
18-by-12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle it with the walnuts,
raisins and sugar mixture. Beginning with a long side, roll up the dough tightly
jelly-roll fashion, stretching it slightly as it is rolled, and put it carefully, seam
side down, in a well-buttered large tube pan. Let the cake rise, covered with a dish
towel, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is almost double in bulk. Brush the cake with
the egg wash and bake it in a preheated 350-degree F. oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it is
golden. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, turn it out onto a plate,
and let it cool for 45 minutes. |
