Kaffeekuchen, the German word for coffeecake, describes a number of sweet yeasted breads produced from one fundamental dough. This dough, wealthy with butter, egg and sugar, could be sprinkled with spices and dried fruits, folded up and baked inside a ring pan, created right into a braid, formed into rolls, or just folded flat, brushed with butter, layered with fruit and streusel, and a part of a conventional "coffee kuchen." Fresh berries, sliced peaches, plums or nectarines, or finely sliced apples are great toppings with this cake, that is very light, slightly sweet, and merely all-around scrumptious.

Excellent. I chose to make this inside a deep-dish cake plate and 11x13 baking dish, one with particularly and something with blackberries. I'd exhaust all-purpose flour, and so i substituted KA bread flour (make use of a little under the recipe). I combined with the dough hook. The berries were fresh coupled with lots of juice. The baking there was a time nearer to an hour or so. Super easy to organize, and answers are outstanding. The lemon rind keeps the nicest fruit from being too sweet. I am likely to use peaches next they are ripe in this region now.
This is an excellent recipe, however the word kuchen doesn't result in coffe cake. It simply means cake. Kuchen ist immer gut durch fruechten!
Just lesson :)
