    Amish Breakfast Beast: Cream-Filled Coffeecake

    Published: May 2, 2014 · Updated: May 3, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 2 Comments

    While visiting Troyer's Country Store in Milroy, Indiana last weekend I, of course, had to visit their bakery.  And what caught my eye first was this giant cream-filled coffee cake.   In the name of research, Rachel and I snapped it up and took it home for analysis (which, of course, involved tasting:).  This is actually a fairly common cake in some Amish settlements.

    It makes for a wonderful breakfast or dessert. coffeecake It's essentially two coffeecakes with a thick layer of decadent white cream between the cakes.  Call it a giant whoopie pie coffeecake!  I tried to capture its sheer size in a photo and every shot I took didn't do it justice,but the cake itself is the size of a dinner plate in width.  In height, it was probably the height of 3 -4 thick big-city Sunday papers stacked on top of one another.

    This was a HUGE coffeecake and I am not sure this photo does justice to the size of this breakfast beast.  Below is the recipe commonly used for this cake.  Enjoy!

      Kevin.. Is there any way you can have it where we can print the recipes? I have to use Goggle Chrome (my computer is old) and it doesn't have a toolbar at top. If I try to use it to print, then it prints everything on your website that is open.

        Mari - Thanks for the comment...I had the "print recipe" capability there for a long time but some glitches in my website behind-the-scenes last weekend caused that to be removed, look for it to return this coming week!
