Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For ring:
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon (half of a 3-inch stick)
1/2 recipe croissant dough (1 lb 6 oz), chilled
1 large egg, beaten
For streusel topping:
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) frozen unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Special Equipment
parchment paper, a ruler, a pastry brush, a garbage bag (unscented)

Steps:

  • Prepare ring:
  • Butter a 24-centimeter (about 9-inch) springform pan and line with a round of parchment paper. Butter paper and remove side of pan.
  • Stir together sugars and cinnamon.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary, into a 24- by 9-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour with pastry brush and trim edges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
  • Arrange dough so that a long side is nearest you and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over dough, leaving a 1-inch border along bottom edge. Brush border with some beaten egg and chill remaining egg. Fold top edge of dough over about 1 inch. Using both hands, roll dough toward you: Use your thumbs to tuck dough under and tighten as you go, working your way down entire length of log (as when rolling up a poster), and gently rock dough back and forth to keep it taut and even. When finished, roll log back and forth over seam to seal.
  • Transfer log, seam side down, to bottom of springform pan, bringing both ends of log together to make a ring. Beginning 2 inches from where ends meet, make vertical cuts from outside of ring toward center at 2-inch intervals, cutting halfway through ring.
  • Let ring rise:
  • Attach side of pan and slide pan into garbage bag, propping up top of bag with inverted glasses to keep it from touching dough, then tuck open end under pan. Let ring rise until slightly puffy and spongy to the touch, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Make streusel while ring is rising:
  • Blend flour and sugar in a food processor. Add frozen butter and pulse until very finely chopped. Chill streusel until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Gently brush top and center of ring with some of remaining beaten egg, then sprinkle with streusel. Bake in middle of oven until top is browned and streusel is crisp, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around edge to loosen and remove side of pan.

1 1/2 c sugar
1 c vegatable oil
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 c peeled, chopped tart apples
powdered sugar for garnish

Tips for Baking Coffee Cake Ring:

- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure they properly combine. - Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense crumb. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - If your batter is too thick, add a little more milk or buttermilk. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but not so thick that it's difficult to pour. - Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake is done when it's golden brown on top and the crumb is firm to the touch. - Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the cake from breaking. - If you don't have a coffee cake pan, you can use a bundt pan or even a 9x13-inch baking pan. - Get creative with your toppings! You can use a simple glaze, or you can add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Baking a coffee cake ring is a great way to enjoy a delicious and classic treat. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a stunning centerpiece for your next brunch or party. So next time you're looking for something sweet and satisfying, give this coffee cake ring a try. You won't be disappointed!
