German Beer Coffee Cake #FoodieExtravaganza

Recipes

6 Apr

coffeecake

This month’s FoodieExtravaganza theme is coffee cake. I’ve been going through my cookbooks again and had totally forgotten about this one that features beer as an ingredient in many of the recipes. I knew I’d love the flavors of this, and DH had some homebrew oatmeal stout on tap.

German Beer Coffee Cake

Created by Wendy Hammond on March 25, 2016

  • Serves: 8
  • Category: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 16 ounces dark beer
  • 2 cups chopped dates
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 cups sifted flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Cream together brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl sift together the cinnamon, allspice, cloves, flour, baking soda and salt. Dust the walnuts and dates in a small bit of the flour mixture.
  4. Add the rest of the flour mixture alternately with the beer to the creamed sugar, stirring after each addition. Spoon the batter into a very well greased and floured tube pan.
  5. Bake at 350F for 1 1/4 hours or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake stand 5 minutes and then invert it onto a wire rack to cool. Remove from the pan. Transfer the coffee cake to a serving dish. Dust the top with powdered sugar.

The Verdict: DELICIOUS! The beer flavor disappears into the light spice of the coffee cake. Powdered sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness.

It’s when a group of bloggers get together and make a recipe using one main ingredient. Where do we get the ingredient? We look at The Nibble and pick something off of their list.

    I would never have thought to put a dark beer in a cake. But with the dark brown sugar and the spices looks like it went together perfectly!! 🙂
