MORAVIAN SUGAR CAKE (AUTHENTIC)



Moravian Sugar Cake (Authentic) image

My Grandma would roll over in her grave right now if she knew I was posting her Moravian Sugar Cake recipe but why keep such a delish recipe under wrap? My family is Moravian this recipe comes straight from the church. My Grandma used to make this all the time on Sunday mornings for breakfast with coffee or tea. It's a bit time consuming, but well worth the effort.

Time 4h45m

Yield 2 large sheet cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 tablespoon) package dry yeast, dissolved in
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup hot mashed potatoes (if using instant, use water for liquid & do not add salt)
1 cup scalded milk, cooled to warm
6 -7 cups flour
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup flour
1 lb light brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1 dash cinnamon

Steps:

  • To proof yeast, add a pinch of sugar to the yeast in lukewarm water (hot water will kill the yeast action). If it foams, it is good.
  • In large mixing bowl, cream eggs, salt, sugar & shortening till smooth.
  • Gradually add warm milk & mashed potatoes, stirring a bit. Then add yeast, mixing well. Add flour, a cup at a time, until dough is stiff enough to turn out on a floured board.
  • Knead dough until soft & spongy (about 10-15 minutes by hand, or if done in a food processor, mix until it forms a ball). Place in large greased bowl in a draft free, warm place & cover with a damp towel. Let dough double in size (approx. 2-3 hours).
  • Punch down and divide dough.
  • Place in greased pie pans or large cookie sheets, cover & let double in size again (approx. 1 ½ hrs.).
  • Spread melted butter on top of cakes, punching holes in dough about 1 inch apart with fingers. Be careful not to punch down to bottom of pan but only half way down. Mix the topping thoroughly & pour into holes in the dough.
  • Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top & sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden & fully baked on the bottom. Serve warm.

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup water (110 F)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons non-fat powdered milk
1/4 cup instant mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted cooled butter
2 eggs
3 cups flour
butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup melted cooled butter

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the 1/2 cup of warm water.
  • Set aside until yeast bubbles, and mixture is foamy.
  • Add the next 7 ingredients, and about 1 cup of flour. (note: The instant mashed potatoes are used as dry flakes the way they come from the package).
  • Beat with a wooden spoon.
  • Add remaining flour or a little more if needed, until bread dough consistency.
  • Place in a greased bowl and turn it to coat.
  • Dot dough with butter, and let it rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Then, punch dough down, and place in a greased shallow baking pan (about 17 x 12 inches) Let rise 30 minutes, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Note: one reviewer commented "The 3 cups flour became about 7 to make it a workable dough. Must be an error in the recipe" There is no mistake in the recipe; this is a cake with a soft dough, not a bread. The term "workable" does not apply here; the soft dough will rise right in the pan. This is not a bread where you are continually kneading it into something that must be shaped. Had the reviewer simply patted it into the pan and let it rise in the pan it should have been fine. The mistake was adding all that extra flour and treating it like a bread.
  • Now the fun begins.
  • As if you're playing the piano, punch your fingers into the dough making indentations.
  • Pour on remaining 1/2 cup of butter, and let dough rise another 30 minutes.
  • Bake in a preheated 375ºF for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

MORAVIAN SUGAR CAKE



Moravian Sugar Cake image

My father-in-law is a retired Moravian minister. Each year, my mother-in-law would bake up a bunch of batches of Moravian Sugar Cakes and sell them at the church bake sale and even at their garage sale. People would come from miles away just to buy one of her sugar cakes. They are absolutely delicious! This recipe makes a bunch of cakes--perfect for Christmas gifts and enough to leave a couple over for your own Christmas or Easter brunch. These also freeze very well.

Time 55m

Yield 6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups mashed potatoes
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons salt
4 eggs, beaten
8 cups flour
3 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast, dissolved in
2 cups hot potato water
1 1/2 cups shortening (I use 3/4 Crisco and 3/4 Oleo)
2 cups brown sugar
4 tablespoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Mash potatoes thoroughly in large Tupperware fix and mix bowl (a very large mixing bowl).
  • Do not season.
  • Stir sugar into hot potatoes.
  • Dissolve yeast into potato water. Water should be between 105-115 degrees. I cool mine with ice cubes when necessary. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
  • Melt shortening in microwave and add to potato mixture.
  • Then add all the remaining ingredients, salt, eggs, yeast, and flour. Just stir until flour is mixed in, Do not over-stir.
  • Cover bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm place until double in size. I just wait until it reaches the top of my large mixing bowl.
  • After dough is raised, divide it into 6 greased and floured 9 inch square or 9 inch round pans. Allow dough to rise again until double (about an hour or so).
  • Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle tops of cake liberally with brown sugar and cinnamon. Use your finger and poke holes into dough (but don't push so deep that you poke all the way through the dough) and fill these holes with melted oleo (I usually melt one stick to do this).
  • Bake three cakes at a time at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until dough is done.

MORAVIAN SUGAR CAKE



Moravian Sugar Cake image

Categories     Cake     Potato     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Cinnamon     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the dough
1 russet (baking) potato (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
1 envelope (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup firm packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Make the dough:
  • In a small saucepan combine the potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, with enough water to cover it by 1 inch and simmer it, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is very tender. Drain the potato well, force it through a ricer into a bowl, and stir in 2 tablespoons of the water. In a small bowl proof the yeast in the remaining 1/2 cup water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy. In a large bowl stir together well the yeast mixture, the mashed potato, the sugar, the butter, the egg, and the salt, add 2 1/2 cups of the flour, and stir the dough until it is combined well. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes, adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as is necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough. Transfer the dough to a buttered large bowl, turning it to coat it with the butter, let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it is double in bulk, and punch it down. The dough may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Bring the dough to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Press the dough evenly in a buttered 13- by 9-inch baking pan and let it rise, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it is puffed. Make indentations all over the top of the dough with your thumb and scatter the butter over the dough. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is dark brown and cooked through. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes and cut it into squares.
