2 tablespoon(s) (+or-) milk

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon half of batter into a greased and floured 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking pan. Arrange apple slices over batter. Spread remaining cake batter evenly over top.
  • TOPPING:
  • Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon, mixing well. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in chopped pecans. Sprinkle mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes. This cake should be a darker brown around edges in order to be done. Cool completely.
  • Mix drizzle & drizzle over top of cake.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly moist coffee cake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is crucial for creating a tender and flavorful cake.
  • Gradually incorporate the eggs into the batter, adding them one at a time to prevent curdling.
  • For a richer and more complex flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense and tough cake.
  • To prevent the apples from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a little flour before folding them into the batter.
  • For a crispy and golden-brown topping, brush the top of the cake with milk or cream before baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
