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.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish.
  • Mix pecans, 1/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until all components are coated with butter, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, mix together butter and 1 cup sugar with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla and sour cream; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk until flour disappears (do not over mix).
  • Spread one half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter one half of the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Very gently press crumbs into batter. Bake in preheated oven until a bamboo skewer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 ounces unsalted butter
3 ounces all-purpose flour
1/4 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 cup toasted pecans
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
3 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 ounces unsalted butter, slightly softened
11 1/2 ounces superfine sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
16 ounces sour cream

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and heat oven to 350 degrees (325 if using dark, nonstick pan). Generously butter 10" tube pan with a removable bottom.
  • Topping: In a 2 quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until almost melted. Remove from heat and cool to tepid. In a medium bowl, combine flour, pecans, granulated sugar and light brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir with a fork. Add the flour mixture to the butter and stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
  • Filling: In a food processor, pulse the pecans, sugars, cinnamon, and cocoa 4-6 times to combine and chop the pecans.
  • Cake: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar slowly, beating until combined. Scrape the bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, blending each one completely before adding the next. Scrape the bowl down and add the vanilla.
  • On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream, adding the flour in four parts and the sour cream in three, beginning and ending with the flour and scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Spoon 2 generous cups of the batter into prepared pan. Smooth with the back of a soup spoon, spreading the batter to the side of the pan first and then to the center. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the filling evenly over the batter. Cover the fillinf with about 2 cups of the batter, dropping dollups around the pan and smoothing with the spoon to sides of the pan and then to the center. Don't lift the spoon while smoothing or you will disturb the filling. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of filling over the batter and cover with 2 more cups of batter. Layer on the remaining filling and then the remaining batter for four layers of batter and three layers of filling.
  • Insert a table knife 1" from the side of the pan straight into the batter going almost to the bottom. Run the knife around the pan two times, without lifting the knife blade, and spacing the circles about 1" apart. This distributes the filling but still keeps it clearly defined. Smooth the top of the batter with the back of the soup spoon.
  • Take a handful of the streusel and squeeze firmly to form a large mass. Break up the mass into smaller clumps, distributing the streusel evenly over the batter. Repeat with the remaining streusel. Press the streusel lightly into the surface of the batter.
  • Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown, the sides are beginning to pull away from the pan, and a wooden skewer inserted in to the center of the cake comes out clean, 70-75 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least an hour before removing from pan.
  • Gently lift up the center tube while carefully pushing the bottom upward with your opposite hand. If the cake doesn't release easily, run a thin knife between the cake and the tube and between the cake and the outer wall of the pan. Once the cake is out, run the knife under the bottom, too.
  • Fold a 12" square of aluminum foil into quarters. Measure 1 1/4" from the inside tip of the foil and cut a arc to make a hole for the tube when you unfold the foil. Unfold and place over the cake, pressing gently onto the top of the cake and molding the foil around its sides to hold in all the streusel.
  • Invert the cake onto a plate and remove the center tube. Invert the cake onto a rack, remove the foil, and cool right side up.
  • Can be frozen up to 3 months.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream
2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons real maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
  • For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.
  • Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water if necessary, to make the glaze runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon.

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE WITH CINNAMON-PECAN TOPPING RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Cinnamon-Pecan Topping Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE FILLING/TOPPING:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, shopped
1 tablespoon cinnamon
CAKE:
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups sour cream (I used lite)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch spring form pan. NOTE: If you use a bundt pan, the filling will not be on top when you remove it from the pan. I used a bundt pan, and flipped it over twice. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; combine and set aside. Cream the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, and mix well. Add the sour cream and vanilla. Measure the flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl, and whisk together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and fold together until combined. The batter will be very thick. Spread half the batter into the baking pan, and evenly layer half the cinnamon-pecan mixture. Spread the remaining batter, evenly, and add the remaining topping. Bake for up to 1 hour and 10 minutes. NOTE: I checked the cake at 50 minutes, and when I inserted a toothpick it came out clean. Wait about 5 minutes to remove from pan, and serve warm.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Pears and Pecans image

Categories     Cake     Food Processor     Mixer     Fruit     Nut     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Pear     Pecan     Winter     Sour Cream     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Topping
1 1/2 cups pecans (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Cake
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled pears

Steps:

  • For topping:
  • Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until nuts are coarsely chopped. Add butter; using on/off turns, blend until coarse crumbs form.
  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add both sugars and beat until well blended. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then lemon peel and vanilla. Blend sour cream and milk in small bowl. Beat in sour cream mixture alternately with dry ingredients in 3 additions each. Spread half of cake batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle half of topping over; cover with pears. Spread remaining batter over; sprinkle with remaining topping.
  • Bake until top is brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use cold butter and sour cream. This will help to create a flaky and tender crust.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sour cream coffee cake with toasted pecan filling is a delicious and easy-to-make coffee cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the sour cream, coffee, and pecans creates a moist and flavorful cake that is sure to please everyone.
