Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour hot milk over butter and sugar.
- Crumble yeast into lukewarm water and dissolve.
- Cool the milk to lukewarm, then add the yeast mixture and well-beaten eggs.
- Beat in sifted flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead until smooth.
- Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl.
- Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dough. If you're out of yeast, you can substitute with 2 teaspoons of baking powder, but the texture will differ. Ensure your milk is not too hot when combining with yeast, as it can kill the yeast and affect rising.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this coffee cake in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator. The next morning, bring it to room temperature before baking. This method enhances the flavor and saves time on busy mornings.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
You can add ingredients like raisins, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips to the dough for added texture and flavor. Just fold them in gently after kneading to ensure even distribution in the coffee cake.
How do I know when the dough has risen enough?
The dough is ready when it has doubled in size, which typically takes about 1 to 2 hours in a warm environment. You can check by gently pressing your finger into the dough; if it leaves an indent, it has risen sufficiently.
