Orange Bowl Yeast Coffeecake
Description
This Orange Bowl Yeast Coffeecake is a show-stopping dessert that combines the comfort of warm yeast dough with bright citrus notes. The tender, airy base is layered with a rich filling of brown sugar, butter, and freshly grated orange peel, studded with crunchy nuts. Baked in a deep casserole or bundt pan, it creates a beautiful spiral effect when inverted. Perfect for Sunday brunches, holiday gatherings, or any occasion where you want to impress guests with homemade charm.Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, half of the margarine, salt, and scalded milk.
-
Allow the milk mixture to cool to lukewarm temperature.
-
Whisk in eggs, orange juice, and the yeast mixture.
-
Gradually add flour, mixing until a stiff dough forms; reserve some flour if the dough is too sticky.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 3-5 minutes until smooth and satiny.
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Meanwhile, cream the remaining margarine with brown sugar and orange peel; set aside.
-
Punch down risen dough and divide in half.
-
Roll out one half of the dough on a floured surface into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle.
-
Spread half of the orange-brown sugar filling over the dough and sprinkle with half of the chopped nuts.
-
Starting with the 12-inch side, roll the dough up tightly in a jelly-roll fashion.
-
Cut the roll into twelve 1-inch slices.
-
Arrange the slices 1 inch apart on the bottom and sides of a well-greased 2-quart casserole or oven-proof bowl, placing remaining slices in the center.
-
Repeat the rolling, filling, slicing, and arranging process with the remaining dough to make a second cake.
-
Cover the assembled cakes and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until light and doubled.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Immediately invert the cakes onto a wire rack and let cool slightly before serving.
