THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE



The Best (Cinnamon Pecan) Coffee Cake image

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!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (175°C).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will result in a tastier and more flavorful coffee cake.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily and will result in a lighter and fluffier cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the coffee cake cool completely before serving. This will help it set and will make it easier to slice.
  • For a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle over the batter before baking.
  • For a glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Drizzle over the cooled coffee cake.
