Breakfast Coffeecake (Amish Apea Cake) image

Apea Cake is an old Amish recipe. It's a dense coffeecake that's somewhat sweet without being too sugary. It's usually served for breakfast, and a favorite way to eat it is to dip it in their coffee or tea (much like one would do with a doughnut). Some like to spread butter on top, but it's great without, too. To freeze:...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into 12 pieces
1/3 cup dark raisins
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3-1/2cup milk
1/8 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and 1 tsp cinnamon, and stir well. Cut in the butter, using a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Stir in the raisins and walnuts.
  • 3. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, beat the egg with a fork. Add the vanilla and just enough milk to total 2/3 cup liquid. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, and stir until thoroughly moistened. Transfer the batter to the prepared pie plate. Smooth the surface of the batter. Mix the white sugar and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon together, and sprinkle it evenly across the batter surface.
  • 4. Place the pie plate in the oven, and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing into individual servings. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding an extra egg next time.
