Cake:
cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup yogurt
¾ cup softened butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix together brown sugar, walnuts, pecans, flour, butter, and cinnamon for the topping in a bowl until crumbly; set aside.

Slowly mix in flour until combined; batter will be thick. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Generously spread 1/2 of the brown sugar-cinnamon topping over top. Top with remaining batter and then remaining topping.

EASY CINNAMON BROWN SUGAR COFFEE CAKE



Easy Cinnamon Brown Sugar Coffee Cake image

Wow, this is a moist and delicious coffee cake. We all loved it! Part of the topping is swirled and mixed into the batter which carries all the brown sugar goodness throughout the cake. The maple glaze is so tasty. We opted to add macadamia nuts along with pecans to the topping which added a nice a crunch to the cake. Oh, and it...

CAKE MIX INSTRUCTIONS
1 box yellow cake mix, I use Betty Crocker with a pudding mix
3 eggs
1 c water
1/3 c butter
TOPPING
3/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c pecans
1/4 c flaxseed or another nut, as desired
THE DRIZZLE
1 c powdered sugar
dash(es) maple extract
milk or whipping cream, as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Spray bottom of 9 x 13 pan.
  • 2. Combine the cake ingredients as directed on the box.
  • 3. Combine topping ingredients.
  • 4. Pour batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of topping and swirl in cake.
  • 5. Sprinkle the remaining topping on top of the cake.
  • 6. Bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean about 30-35 min or according to cake instructions. Let cool.
  • 7. Mix together the powdered sugar, maple extract, and milk until a glaze forms.
  • 8. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a tender crumb.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a cake that is light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help ensure that the cake is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar topping while the cake is cooling. To make the topping, simply combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
  • Once the cake is completely cooled, brush it with melted butter and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the top.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugar coffee cake is a classic breakfast or brunch treat. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
