This recipe is one that my mom made while I was growing up and was one of my favorites. It comes from a little recipe booklet titled "Fun with Coffee" from the 1950's. I love coffee and these are basically coffee flavored crumb cakes.

Tips:

  • Selecting Fresh Ingredients: Choose high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Always use fresh coffee for the filling and softened butter for the dough to ensure a rich, creamy texture.
  • Measuring Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients precisely. This ensures consistency in measurements, leading to a perfectly balanced coffee kuchen.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps prevent the butter from melting too quickly. This contributes to a flaky, tender crust.
  • Whisking Dry Ingredients: Before adding the wet ingredients, whisk the dry ingredients together to distribute them evenly and prevent lumps in the batter.
  • Mixing the Dough Gently: Avoid over-mixing the dough. Over-mixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough crust.
  • Baking at the Right Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature and bake the coffee kuchen until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C). This ensures the kuchen is cooked thoroughly while maintaining a moist texture.
  • Letting the Kuchen Cool: Allow the coffee kuchen to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This prevents the filling from oozing out and allows the flavors to settle.

Conclusion:

With its combination of a flaky crust, creamy coffee filling, and sweet streusel topping, the coffee kuchen is a true delight. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can create a delicious and impressive coffee kuchen that will be enjoyed by family and friends alike. Indulge in this classic pastry and experience the perfect harmony of coffee and sweetness in every bite.
