Instructions
Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar and salt. Bring milk to a simmer and add to the mixing bowl. Stir and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- When the mixture has cooled, stir in yeast, egg replacer mixture and vanilla. Add the flour and ground cardamom and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 6 minutes in a mixer or 8 minutes by hand. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes~1 hour.
Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine egg replacer mixture, sugar and salt. Whisk well and add the almond flour and flour.
- Add the melted butter, almond extract and 2 tsp milk. The filling should be thick and spreadable like peanut butter. Add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Assemble:
- Roll out the dough on a lightly greased surface into a 20″~24″ wide and 10″ long rectangle. Spread the filling over the dough in a thin layer, leaving a 1″ of both long edges uncovered. Roll up the dough from one long edge to the other, pinching it together to seal it.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, seam side down, and form into a circle, tucking one end inside the other. Pinch this seam together. It should be a circle of about 4″ diameter.
- Slice the dough from the outside edge ¾ of the way through, leaving the center intact. Repeat in 1½” increments all the way around the dough.
- Turn the slices on their sides, pulling every other one to the inside of the circle. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk and agave. When the dough has risen, brush it generously with the egg (free) wash and bake for 24~26 minutes or until golden brown and the center reads 190°F when measured with a digital thermometer. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack.
Make the Glaze:
- Combine confectioner’s sugar, milk and almond extract in a small bowl. Drizzle over the slightly warm coffeecake. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and enjoy.
- Leftover coffeecake, stays fresh, well-wrapped for 3 days at room temperature or freeze up to 3 months.
