For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough. If you don't have a bread machine, you can mix the dough in a stand mixer or by hand. Allow for a longer rising time if mixing by hand. Store leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for longer storage. Reheat before serving for the best taste and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Rehydrate Potato Flakes: In a small bowl, combine the dry potato flakes with the boiling water. Let it stand until lukewarm, approximately 15 minutes. This step is crucial for adding moisture and a unique texture to the cake.
02
Step
2 hrs 30 mins
Bread Machine Magic: Place the rehydrated potato mixture, warm milk, softened butter, eggs, sugar, bread flour, and active dry yeast into your bread machine pan. Follow the manufacturer's recommended order for adding ingredients. Select the 'Dough/Manual' cycle and press start. Let the bread machine handle the mixing and first rise. (Approximately 1.5-2 hours).
03
Step
1 hrs
Shape and Rise: Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the bread machine. Briefly knead it on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round loaf and place them in three lightly greased 8-inch pie pans. Cover the pans with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise until doubled in size. (Approximately 60 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
04
Step
5 mins
Cinnamon-Sugar Kiss: In a small bowl, mix together the 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Brush the tops of the risen loaves with the melted butter. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered tops.
05
Step
22 mins
Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
