recipe- Russian Coffee Cake

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe that has been a family favorite for many years. My grandmother

loved to

make this around the Christmas holiday, but now we enjoy it all through the year

especially when we want to remember her warm personality and gentle spirit. It

always

makes us smile.

 

Russian Coffee Cake

 

1 c. sugar

1/2 lb. butter

1 pt. sour cream

3 unbeaten eggs

2 1/2 c. flour

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

 

Cream together sugar and butter. Add sour cream. Add unbeaten eggs, one at a

time.

Combine flour with baking powder and baking soda. Dough will be stiff. Spoon

half the

dough into a well-greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.

Sprinkle 3/4 of filling over first half of dough. Spoon in remaining dough and

sprinkle rest

of topping. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cool 1 hour before removing from pan.

 

FILLING AND TOPPING:

3/4 c. sugar

4 tbsp. cinnamon

1 c. chopped nuts (we prefer walnuts, but pecans also work)

We made this cake today except that we sub'd stevia for the sugar.

 

 

 

We used 1/3 c. in the cake and ¼ c. in the topping/filling.

 

 

 

The cake itself turned out very well. Moist and delic!

 

However the topping/filling not so much. It was dry and kind of bitter. I

think the bitter was the stevia.

 

Should we add some margarine or something to help the dryness?

 

I'll bet the cake made with sugar is delicious but I work in a sugar free

residential setting and am trying to come up with deserts.

 

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks Sam

 

Hope Gaia doesn't mind me messing with her recipe!!
