Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream the sausage and sugars together until well blended.
- Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, soda, spices) together in a separate bowl.
- Alternately add the coffee and dry ingredients to the sausage and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Dust the nuts and chopped dates with a little flour and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured tube or loaf pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a moister cake, ensure your sausage is well-blended with the sugars. You can substitute the pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option. If you're looking for more flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract. Adjust the spices according to your preference, and for a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or use seeds instead.
Serving Suggestions
This Sausage Cake is delightful on its own, but it pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. For a fun brunch option, serve it alongside Ham-It-Up Crescent Snacks. A cup of coffee also enhances the flavors beautifully, making it a perfect treat for gatherings or casual get-togethers.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the cake for up to a week or freeze slices for up to 3 months. To reheat, gently warm in the oven at 300°F until heated through, or microwave individual slices for about 20 seconds.
