My neighbor makes this every couple months, and we share a slice warm with coffee the day she bakes it, and cold for dessert with milk the next day! I believe the recipe originated from the Land O Lakes Butter label.

Provided by Tasting Table Staff

Categories     Dessert

Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
5 large eggs, separated, plus 2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons water
¼ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 ¼ cups sugar
⅓ cup strong brewed coffee
⅓ cup light corn syrup
1½ tablespoons baking soda
2 ½ cups well-chilled heavy cream
2 ½ tablespoons sugar
2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ teaspoons instant coffee granules

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with a removable bottom with nonstick baking spray.
  • Sift together the flour, ¾ cup of the sugar, and the salt into a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer), whip the yolks and ¼ cup sugar on medium speed until thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Gradually add the water, oil, and vanilla, mixing well. If using a stand mixer, transfer the mixture to a large bowl and wash and dry the mixer bowl and whisk (or wash the beaters).
  • Add the egg whites to the large mixer bowl (or another bowl) and beat until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until the egg whites form soft peaks. Add the remaining ½ cup sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add the lemon zest and juice and beat just until incorporated, about 15 seconds.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, approximately 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely on a cooling rack, about 45 minutes (removing the cake when it is still warm will cause it to deflate and likely tear).
  • Run an offset spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Holding the rim of the pan with one hand, press the bottom of the pan up and out. Run an offset spatula between the cake and the bottom to release it. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the cake.
  • Make the coffee crunch: Attach a candy thermometer to the side of a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot. Add the sugar, coffee and corn syrup to the pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a heatproof silicone spatula until the mixture reaches 270°F, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heavily coat a 13-by-18-by-1-inch baking sheet with nonstick baking spray. Measure the baking soda into a ramekin or cup and place near the stovetop, along with a large whisk.
  • When the crunch reaches 270 F, increase the heat to high and stir constantly until the crunch reaches 305 F. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk the baking soda into the crunch; the mixture will expand and aerate quickly, in a matter of seconds. Pour the crunch onto the baking sheet. Allow the crunch to cool, undisturbed, for at least 30 minutes.
  • Using a cleaver or other heavy knife, chop the crunch into quarter-sized pieces. (The crunch can be made ahead and stories in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.) 13. Make the coffee whipped cream: Combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and coffee in a large bowl and whip with a handheld mixer until medium peaks form.
  • Assemble the cake: Place the cake on a turntable or cake stand and, using a long serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally in half. Remove the top half and place cut side up on a plate. Cover both halves with whipped cream, using approximately ½ cup per side. Scatter 1 cup of the crunch evenly to cover the bottom half. Place the top half, cream side down, on the top of the crunch layer and press gently to even the layers. Frost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • When you are ready to serve the cake, cover the sides and top with the remaining crunch (if you apply the crunch in advance, it will start to melt and lose its bite). This cake is best enjoyed the day it is assembled; store it in a cake box or under a cake dome in the refrigerator.

ALMOND HONEYCOMB CAKE



Almond Honeycomb Cake image

This melt-in-your-mouth cake is soaked with the flavors of wildflower honey, citrus and cardamom before getting a finishing touch of glossy honey glaze -- just like a real honeycomb!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs, at room temperature
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 cups almond flour (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons whiskey, such as Maker's Mark
1 orange
8 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
1 1/2 cups wildflower honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Thoroughly butter a 12 1/4-by-11 2/3-inch honeycomb pull-apart dessert pan, making sure to cover all the detailed nooks and crannies. Lightly dust the pan with all-purpose flour (sifting the flour over the top of the pan works best; tap out excess).
  • Beat the butter, salt and 1 3/4 cups of the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until well combined (the butter does not need to be fluffy), about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until incorporated (the mixture will first appear loose and broken, but will eventually come together). Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and beat into the butter mixture; reserve the pod for another use.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the almond flour until combined. Add the all-purpose flour and beat on low until combined. Add the whiskey and beat on low until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Tap the pan firmly on the counter a few times to force batter into the edges of the pan.
  • Bake the cake until golden brown, the edges begin to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center and edges of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving plate; carefully remove the pan and very lightly brush away any excess flour from the top of the cake.
  • Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to peel wide strips from half of the orange (about 6 strips).
  • Boil the cardamom pods in 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated and the mixture is very fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the honey and the orange peels. Let sit for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a mesh sieve into a small glass measuring cup; discard the solids. The mixture should be very thin and slightly warm; gently re-heat if necessary. Slowly drizzle the mixture over the warm cake, allowing the cake to soak up the honey before adding more. Let the cake cool, about 1 hour.
  • Just before serving, heat the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon water in small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup honey until combined, then remove from the heat and drizzle over the top of cake, allowing the honey to slowly drip over the sides and into each honeycomb.

HONEY NUT COFFEE CAKE



Honey Nut Coffee Cake image

New York City stinks. Garbage, exhaust, crowds of human beings, and who really knows what. Fortunately there are little pockets of fragrance everywhere. My favorite city smell comes from the street-nut carts. The men who mind the carts stand all day long tossing peanuts in sugar over heat in copper drums, sending burnished sugar smoke wafting down the sidewalk. There's no need to advertise or call out for customers. That smell, on an early fall afternoon, half hot and half cool, is like a magnet. This candied-peanut butter cake is an ode to those nut-cart guys. Thank you for making New York a little more wonderful. Add 2 cups of raspberries to the cake if you'd like a peanut butter and jelly effect, or keep it plain for simple butter-nut bliss.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup heavy cream
6 3/4 ounces roasted, salted peanuts (1 1/2 cups)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Prepare the peanut topping: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, honey, and cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, until a bit lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Add the peanuts and cook until the caramel thickens slightly, 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the cake batter.
  • Prepare the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch round springform pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. On low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture, then the milk, and then the last half of the flour mixture.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Dollop the top of the batter with the peanut mixture and spread it out evenly. Bake the cake until the top is caramelized, the cake is set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 55 to 65 minutes. Cover the cake with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes, then remove the ring and let the cake cool completely before serving.

HONEY BUN COFFEE CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)



Honey Bun Coffee Cake Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-49077

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box yellow cake mix
8 ounce tub sour cream
4 eggs
3/4 c. vegetable oil
1 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 c. powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325. Prepare 9 x 13 pan. In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and sour cream. Stir by hand until large lumps are gone. There will still be some lumps but that's ok. Pour half the batter into the pan. Now, in a medium bowl. Take your brown sugar and cinnamon and combine. Mix up your brown sugar and cinnamon really well. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture all over the batter in the cake pan. Now carefully spread the other half of the batter on top. Don't be afraid, it's gonna get really uncomfortable. All the batter and stuff is gonna get all mixed together and you're gonna think you are doing it all wrong. But don't worry how it looks. Trust me. Once it's all spread around, take a butter knife and twirl it all through the batter, so it gets all swirly and stuff. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Just when it's about done baking, mix together your powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. I always use a fork to be sure all the little clumps get broken up Once the cake comes out of the oven, waste no time at all. Pour this powdered sugar mixture over the warm cake. Now sit back and wait for the wonderful crackle to appear

Tips:

  • For a crispier streusel topping, use cold butter and flour.
  • To prevent the streusel from burning, bake the coffee cake at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the coffee cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • To make ahead, prepare the coffee cake batter and streusel topping the day before. Store the batter and streusel topping in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • When you're ready to bake the coffee cake, preheat the oven and grease and flour the bundt pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
  • Bake the coffee cake according to the recipe instructions. Once the coffee cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

This honey comb coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful cake, crunchy streusel topping, and sweet honey glaze, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
