CINNAMON SWIRL BUNDT COFFEE CAKE



Cinnamon Swirl Bundt Coffee Cake image

A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago. Sometimes I lower the fat content by using fat-free sour cream or yogurt instead of the sour cream. Enjoy! This can also be made into small loaf cakes which can be frozen easily.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Mix in vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour flour mixture into batter alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of white sugar with the cinnamon.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the batter in the pan. Drop remaining cake batter in heaping spoonfuls over filling, covering it as best you can.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.

APPLE SPICE CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE



Apple Spice Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake image

If you love cinnamon and apples, then this coffee cake is for you. It smells heavenly while baking. Starting with a spiced cake mix and apple muffin mix makes this easy to make and creates a yummy flavor combination. It's full of cinnamon and apples in every bite. This is a dense cake-like most coffee cakes, but very moist too....

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR CAKE:
1 box spice cake mix
1 pkg Marie Callander's apple muffin mix or any apple muffin mix (6 oz size)
3 eggs (I used Egg Beaters)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 c yogurt (I used the one with cream on the top)
1/3 c oil
1 Tbsp instant coffee
2 fresh chopped apples (peeled and cored)
1 c chopped nuts (I used pecan, cause it's all I had on hand)
1 c almond milk
FOR CINNAMON SWIRL
1/2 c melted butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
FOR ICING (OPTIONAL)
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp almond milk

Steps:

  • 1. For Cake: Sift together all the dry ingredients several times - cake and muffin mix, instant coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. In stand mixer, using paddle, starting on slow speed blend dry ingredients with eggs (one at a time).
  • 3. Add yogurt, milk, oil. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
  • 4. Add apples and nuts. Blend a few more minutes until all ingredients are incorporated scraping the sides often.
  • 5. CINNAMON SWIRL (best to do this after batter has been mixed as it only takes a minute). Melt butter. Add sugars and cinnamon. If mixture is too thick add a few teaspoons of milk until the consistency of gravy.
  • 6. Pour your batters in prepared pans. For this one I used 6 mini loaf pans, filling to about 3/4 full. Test Kitchen Note: We used a 9x13 pan.
  • 7. Dollop cinnamon swirl onto the batter 2 tablespoons at a time.
  • 8. With a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon through being careful not to touch the bottom. NOTE: I learned the hard way, it sticks to the bottom and cake is difficult to get out.
  • 9. BAKE @ 350 for how however many minutes, depending on size pan. For the mini loaf pans, it took 30-33 minutes. It also depends on your oven. Test Kitchen Note: It took 40 minutes for our 9x13 pan.
  • 10. If you want an icing, with a mix whisk 3 tbsp of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1-2 tbsp of almond milk.
  • 11. Drizzle or spread over cooled cakes.

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 10-inch-diameter by 4-inch-deep angel food cake pan; dust with flour. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and cocoa in small bowl. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl.
  • Beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Gradually beat in remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, then vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions. Spoon 1/3 of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of walnut mixture. Top with half of remaining batter, then remaining walnut mixture and remaining batter. Using knife, cut through batter to swirl walnut mixture.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pan with foil; store at room temperature.)
  • Cut around pan sides and center tube to loosen cake. Turn cake out; transfer cake, rounded side up, to plate.

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that they mix in evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. If the batter is too thick, you can thin it out with a little milk.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the pan and the oven temperature.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon swirl coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet cinnamon swirl, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
