Coffee Roll
A rich, buttery coffee roll with walnuts and raisins, featuring warm cinnamon and nutmeg flavors, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine and mix with flour, egg, and sour cream.
- Chill the mixture for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can omit the walnuts or substitute with sunflower seeds. Make sure to chop the walnuts coarsely to avoid large chunks in the roll. If you like a sweeter taste, increase the brown sugar slightly. This dough can also be used as a base for other fillings, such as chocolate or fruit preserves.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the coffee roll warm, dusted with powdered sugar for an elegant touch. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect addition to brunch or afternoon tea. You can also serve it alongside fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal. For more delicious baked goods, check out American recipes that feature similar flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before rolling it out and filling it. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before rolling out to make it easier to work with.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can use plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk as a suitable substitute. These alternatives will provide a similar tangy flavor and moisture, ensuring your coffee roll remains delicious and tender.
Can I freeze the coffee roll?
Yes, you can freeze the coffee roll! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. It will last up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as desired for a fresh-baked taste.
