Instructions for How to make almond custard seven sisters coffee cake recipe:

1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast and lukewarm water. Let it proof (become foamy) for about 5 minutes.
2. Add sour cream, and 1 tablespoon of sugar, and mix on low speed with the flat paddle attachment. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough rises, prepare the almond filling by combining the cake filling and water in a bowl. Set aside.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (approximately 18×12 inches).
6. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cardamom. Spread the almond filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough lengthwise into 7 equal strips. Starting from the long end, roll up each strip into a spiral.
8. Arrange the spirals in a greased bundt pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the risen dough.
11. Sprinkle the sliced almonds and streusel topping over the coffee cake.
12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioner’s sugar and water until smooth.
14. Once the cake is done baking, let it cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
