Ingredients

  • 5 - 6 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1 cup coffee rich
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tablespoon margarine
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon lemon peel spice Island sells it dried in the spice aisle
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 bag chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Combine Coffee Rich, Water and Margarine in a container and melt together in microwave until warm but not hot.
  • Put 2 C. flour, ½ C Sugar, Salt, Yeast and Lemon Peel in a Mixer Bowl. Add warm liquid and mix until combined. Add Eggs and mix again for 2 minutes. Change to kneading hooks and add 3 C. Flour. Add enough more flour to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead for several minutes. Turn into a greased bowl and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough. Cut the dough into 32 pieces (½ it and ½ it again and again until you have 32 more or less equal pieces.)
  • You MAY add chocolate chips at this time if desired.
  • Grease a round tube pan with Pam. Dip each piece of cake into the oil and then into the crumb mixture. Put pieces in tube pan:
  • 16 on the bottom. 16 on the top. (and…believe it or not…..11 on the outside and 5 on the inside!)
  • Let cake rise in tube pan until it reaches the top of the pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
  • AND THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!
  • After the cake has cooled, PUT IT IN THE FREEZER! If you remove it from the pan frozen it is less likely to fall apart!
  • Allow to defrost before serving!
