Maida heatter's budapest coffee cake
Cakes
Leave it to The Queen of Cake herself, Maida Heatter, to give us a giant bundt of a coffee cake that doesn't need to hide behind a crumb layer nor a multi-inch shellac of cream cheese. <br /> <br />The cake is dense enough that you can break the slices apart with your fingers (important for: faster eating, fewer utensils, snacking straight from the fridge), and it's tangy and smooth thanks to the 2 cups of sour cream. <br /> <br />Here, the streusel topping typically found on top of coffee cake migrates inwards, in tiger stripes of brown sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, raisins, and nuts that alleviate any batter boredom. It's less messy, it's less precarious, and it offers a reality show-style BIG REVEAL upon first slice. <br /> <br />From <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Maida-Heatters-Book-Great-Desserts/dp/0836278615?tag=food52-20">Maida Heatter's Book of Great Desserts</a href> (Andrews McMeel Publishing 1999).
