Valentine Coffee Cake
Makes 1 coffeecake
- 1 cup 100% bran cereal
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 packages quick rising yeast
- 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups PLANTERS Walnuts or Pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup dairy sour cream
- 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- Powdered Sugar, optional
In small saucepan, heat bran, water and margarine until very warm (125 degrees to 130 degrees F); margarine does not need to melt. In large bowl, mix 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, 1/4 cup sugar and salt; stir in warm bran mixture. Mix in eggs and enough additional flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
In small bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, walnuts or pecans, sour cream and chocolate chips; set aside.
On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 20 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread nut mixture evenly over dough. Roll up from long edge as for jelly roll; pinch seam to seal. Carefully roll and stretch to 26-inch roll. Place roll, seam-side down, on greased baking sheet; form into heart and pinch ends together to seal. With sharp knife, cut slits starting from outer edge, 2/3 of the way through dough, at 1-inch intervals. Turn each section on its side to show filling. Cover; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. To prevent overbrowning, tent with foil during last 10 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired
