Christmas Morning Coffee Cake from Vicki Delany #ChristmasWeek


Christmas Morning. Presents under the tree, excited children, maybe excited old folks too.  The turkey in the oven, perhaps a special indulgence (spiked egg nog or hot chocolate, Mimosas). It’s not a time you want to be stuck in the kitchen.  This coffee cake is perfect as it can be made ahead and freezes well.



Christmas Morning Coffee Cake

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
4 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together sugar, coffee, and cocoa powder in a small bowl; set aside.
Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan. Dust with flour, and tap out excess.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Mix in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with sour cream. Add vanilla, and mix 1 minute.
Spread 1/3 of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half the filling. Spread another third of the batter on top, followed by the remaining filling. Spread remaining batter over top. Run a thin knife through batter to marbleize.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into centre comes out clean, 35 to 38 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes. Invert onto a plate.

Freezes well, wrapped in aluminum foil.
