Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water.
- In a large bowl, slowly pour hot milk into the eggs, whisking constantly. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Mix in 1/2 cup melted butter. When mixture is room temperature, pour in the dissolved yeast. Add the flour and mix well.
- Turn dough out on floured board. Knead until smooth, about 10 to 15 minutes. Place in greased bowl, and cover. Let rise in warm place until double in volume, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch dough down. Turn over, and let rise again for 45 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon. Form dough into walnut-sized balls. Dip each ball in melted butter and roll it in cinnamon sugar. Pile loosely into a 10-inch Bundt pan. Cover and let rise again until double in volume, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking until golden brown, about 30 minutes more.

TRADITIONAL COFFEE AND WALNUT CAKE
I was looking through the site for coffee (flavoured) cakes and was amazed there wasn't more recipes for coffee and walnut cake, which when I was growing up was one of the most traditional cakes that was always on sale in the village shop. It used to seem really 'grown up' to me (but was also my favourite!), and this is the recipe my mum always used- I think it might have originally started off as a Delia Smith recipe. Hope you enjoy it :).

Steps:
- Preheat over to 180 degrees Celcius and prepare two 8 inch sandwich tins. Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.
- Beat butter until soft, then cream with sugar and coffee (I use an electric whisk for this bit). When fluffy and well-mixed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well.
- Fold in dry ingredients using a wooden spoon and mix until combined, being really careful not to over-mix. Stir in walnuts.
- Put in prepared tins and bake approx 25-30 mins until evenly browned and a skewer comes out clean. Don't open oven door too soon or the cakes won't rise properly. Once baked, allow to cool in tins 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cool, beat the butter for the buttercream with the coffee, then sift in the icing sugar. You might need to use more or less to get the right consistency. Sandwich the cakes together. In another bowl, sift the icing sugar for the top of the cake, and slowly add enough coffee to make a runny (but not so much it runs of the cake!) icing, and spread over the top of the cake. Decorate with walnut halves. Enjoy with a cup of coffee :).

Tips:
- Use high-quality coffee for the best flavor. Freshly ground coffee beans will give you the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Be careful not to overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- You can also add a glaze to the cake for a sweeter finish. Simply mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Conclusion:
Traditional coffee cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist crumb, sweet streusel topping, and rich coffee flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat to bake, give traditional coffee cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
