PECAN SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
For me, the best part about coffee cake is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumbs. So here I significantly upped the amounts used. Bake times will vary according to pan size and composition.

THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE
I found this recipe ages ago in a magazine, and didn't try it until I was requested to bring a coffee cake to Easter brunch. Oh my gosh, the cake was amazing! The recipe was great as is, and I think you'll all enjoy it. I know the guests at the brunch did! (Tip: Now that I've made the recipe once, I do think that it could use more filling. Of course, that's just me, but if you have want an extra sweet coffee cake, I would double the filling recipe, then pour only 1/3 of the batter in the pan when you sprinkle the filling on it. Only sprinkle 1/2 the filling on the batter, pour in another 1/3 of the batter, sprinkle the rest of the filling on it, than pour the remaining cake batter on it. I think that will make the cake turn out even better! Just a suggestion... I'll let you know how it turns out after I try it!)

PECAN COFFEE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together. Butter a tube pan well and liberally coat it with the cinnamon sugar.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar and mix. Add the eggs and mix until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Working in batches, add them to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with dollops of sour cream. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, pinch the ingredients together into a sandy, crumbly mixture. Add the pecans and mix. Sprinkle the mixture over the cake.
- Bake until risen and browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan then turn out. Serve in slices.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter come together smoothly and prevent curdling.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a bundt pan with a removable bottom: This will make it easy to remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
