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!)

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crumbly texture, use cold butter and make sure to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a streusel topping that stays crunchy, don't overmix it. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • For a moist and flavorful cake, let it cool completely before serving.
