Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1,5 c + 2 tbsp. flour
4 Tbsp sugar
1/2 pkg fresh yeast - equal to 25 grams
1 pinch salt
2/3 c lukewarm milk
1/5 stick butter, softened
1/2 c butter or 1 stick of butter
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
4 Tbsp dark syrup - not molasses

Steps:

1. Set aside the last three ingredients - it's the sugar mass on the top.
2. Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.
3. Add all the dry ingredients into the liquid. Mix it lightly with a hand mixer or your kitchen machine, then add the soft butter.
4. Mix it well on medium speed. Form a dough ball. Cover and let it rise for 20 min.
5. Add the last three ingredients to a small pot and let it all melt on low heat - don't boil! When it's all an even mass turn off the heat.
6. Take a 10" x 15" pan. Grease it or use baking sheet. Spread out the dough in the pan just using your hands. Poke holes into the dough with your fingers. Then pour over the sugar mass from the pot. Let it rise an extra 20 min. Before putting it in the oven poke the dough once more ... Here I used the handle of a big wooden spoon.
7. Bake for 13-15 min on 350 F

Time 52m

Yield 1 large cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 eggs
300 g sugar
250 g flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup butter
200 ml milk
3/4 cup butter
2 cups baker's angel flake coconut
175 g brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Beat together the eggs and sugar for 10 minutes.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix in well.
Bring to boiling the 200 ml milk and the 1/3 cup butter, then add to the above mixture and blend in well.
Preheat oven to 375 F and pour batter into a rectangular baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking melt the 3/4 cup butter in a saucepan and add the brown sugar, coconut, and 2 Tbs milk.
When the cake is done spread the topping over, return to the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes until topping is bubbly.
Cool before slicing in the pan and enjoying!

Tips:

For a more intense molasses flavor, use dark molasses instead of light molasses.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure your Brunsviger is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the Brunsviger cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
For a neater glaze, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it over the cake.

Conclusion:

Brunsviger is a delicious and easy-to-make coffee cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is a versatile cake that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. With its rich molasses flavor and sweet glaze, Brunsviger is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
