The sweet classic, rich in heavenly mocha filling, is very easy to prepare with the help of the ANKARSRUM food processor, and your kitchen and hands stay clean!

Let's see how Swedish grandmothers' coffee cakes are made!

Ingredients for 18-20 pieces:

200 grams of butter

90 grams of sugar

360 grams of flour

90 grams of flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons of Nescafé or other instant coffee

½ teaspoon of vanilla sugar

Ingredients for the filling:

75 grams of butter

90 grams of powdered sugar

½ tablespoon of cocoa

1 tablespoon of cold coffee (preferably brewed, but if you don't have it, instant coffee is fine too)

1 teaspoon vanilla sugar

Grandma's coffee cake, step by step:

• Assemble your ANKARSRUM stand mixer with the whisk and the plastic bowl, which are part of the basic set.

• Slice the room-temperature butter into small pieces and mix all the ingredients (except the filling ingredients).

• From the dough, make two rolls of about 25 cm by pouring the dough onto foil and rolling it up, then put it in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 175°C .

• Unwrap and cut cookies to a thickness of 1 cm, place them on the baking sheet and press them slightly on their surface with your hands, flattening them.

• Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes or until they are nicely browned, then let cool completely.

• Reassemble your machine with the whisk and cream mixer accessory.

• Make the filling by mixing room temperature butter with the remaining ingredients using a food processor.

• Spread the resulting cream thickly on one half of the cookie, then place another cookie on top, this will be the hat.

ANKA tip!

Classic coffee cakes are usually made with a filling, but if they are not filled, you can still enjoy the same delicious coffee-flavored tea cake with your family.
