Vintage Recipe Thursday, Orange Coffee Cake



Another from the infamous notebook. I have so many pages to scan.

ORANGE COFFEE CAKE



1 package granular or 1 cake fresh yeast

1/4 cup lukewarm water

1 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons grated orange rind

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons melted butter

3 cups flour

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped nut meats



Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water; add orange juice, rind, granulated sugar, salt, three tablespoons melted butter, and half the flour; beat well. Add remaining flour; turn onto floured board and knead well. Place in greased bowl; cover; let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down; divide dough into several portions, shaping each in too long, narrow rolls. Pinch the ends of rolls together and twist into a coil. Place on a greased cookie sheet. If roll is too long, curve in a horseshoe shape. Spread with remainder of melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake in moderate oven (375°) 30 minutes. Serves 10.
