Citris Coffee Cake ala Kevin

Ingredients

  • have been hungry for coffee cake lately so I made this based on an old HC recipe.
  • Citrus-Glazed Coffee Cake (36 carbs for the entire cake)
  • 3 cups lc cake and cookie flour mix
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp splenda quick pack
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp quick yeast
  • 1/2 cup cc milk
  • 1/2 cup Aquafina Sparkling carbinated water beverage(citrus twist)
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • glaze
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • icing
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 T not/Sugar
  • 2 T Aquafina Sparkling carbinated water beverage(citrus twist)
  • Grease 9 inch springform pan and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine flour, salt, yeast, sugar, and splenda.
  • In electric mixing bowl with paddle attachment combine water, milk, egg, and ricotta cheese.
  • Add flour to the liquid and mix for 2 minutes until dough comes together.
  • Change paddle for dough hook and knead for 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • If dough is too wet add more flour mix 1 T at a time to prevent sticking until you have the desired texture.
  • Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll each piece into a 20 inch rope then braid the ropes together.
  • Coil the braided dough into prepared springform and let rise in a draft free place until dough fills out the springform.(approx 90 min.)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and brush risen dough with egg glaze.
  • Bake until top is golden brown.(25 to 30 min)
  • Release cake from springform onto a cooling rack to cool slightly. Run thin knife around edge if it sticks.
  • Combine erythritol, not/Sugar, and Aquafina to form a thin icing and brush it on warm cake.
