SOUR CREAM PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE WITH PECAN STREUSEL



Sour Cream Pumpkin Coffee Cake With Pecan Streusel image

This is the ultimate coffee cake for fall and the holiday season. The cake is buttery, tender, and moist. Pumpkin is layered in between the cake and streusel. It is not an overpowering pumpkin flavor. There's a hint of pumpkin spice but, thanks to the streusel throughout the cake, cinnamon is the more dominant flavor. Once baked,...

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 19

PECAN STREUSEL
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 c cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c chopped pecans
PUMPKIN MIXTURE
1 can(s) pumpkin (not pie mix) - 15 oz.
1 large eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 c sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
CAKE BATTER
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 c sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Streusel Mixture: Combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and pecans, working in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  • 2. I simply do this with my fingers. Divide it in half right inside the bowl and refrigerate until needed.
  • 3. Pumpkin Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, beaten egg, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  • 4. Cake Batter: In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla for about 5 minutes. It won't look like much at this point.
  • 5. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until light and fluffy.
  • 6. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Measure out your sour cream.
  • 7. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. I do this with a wooden spoon so that I don't over beat the batter and make the cake dry and tough.
  • 8. Drop 2 cups of batter in dollops in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan (note: if not using a non-stick pan grease the pan before adding the batter). It will look as though there isn't going to be enough batter for two layers, but it IS plenty.
  • 9. I use an offset spatula then to spread the batter into an even layer.
  • 10. Sprinkle one half of the streusel (about 1 cup) over the batter.
  • 11. Dollop all of the pumpkin mixture onto the streusel and gently spread it into an even layer with an offset spatula. Here again, it will look like there isn't enough but there IS plenty. Just do it in the dollops like I did the batter and spread it out.
  • 12. Drop the remaining 2 cups of cake batter in dollops over the pumpkin mixture.
  • 13. Carefully spread the batter over the pumpkin mixture with an offset spatula.
  • 14. Sprinkle remaining streusel over the batter.
  • 15. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour. In my own personal, it has taken as few as 45 minutes but in other ovens that I have baked it in it took about 52. If your oven tends to cook hot, begin checking around the 40 minute mark. A tester inserted to the center should come out clean, with maybe a slight crumb clinging.
  • 16. Also, I use a non-stick pan so I do not grease it and I have never had a problem with it sticking and I have made this MANY times. If yours isn't non-stick, I would suggest you lightly spray your pan with a little non-stick cooking spray.

SOUR CREAM PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE



Sour Cream Pumpkin Coffee Cake image

I've been baking this coffee cake since the 80's. My family expects it every fall, and if I seem to be late making it, they let me know (LOL!!).

Provided by Sue Brooks

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 c butter, room temperature
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c sour cream
PUMPKIN MIXTURE
1 can(s) pumpkin (16 oz. or 15 oz.)
1/3 c sugar
1 beaten egg
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice*
STREUSEL
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 c butter, room temp (or slice 5 1/3 tbsp from stick of butter)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 c chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl, cream butter, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla. Add 3 eggs, beating well.
  • 2. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
  • 3. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Set aside.
  • 4. In another bowl, combine pumpkin, 1 egg, 1/3 cup sugar, and the pumpkin pie spice*. Set aside.
  • 5. For streusel, mix brown sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon. Mix in 1/3 cup butter (room temperature), then mix in chopped nuts.
  • 6. Spoon half of sour cream batter into 13x9x2-inch baking pan**; spread to corners.
  • 7. Carefully sprinkle HALF of streusel over batter.
  • 8. Spread on all of pumpkin mixture. (I use a large spoon to dollop on pumpkin mixture...about 12 dollops. Then, with back of the spoon, gently spread the mounds together without disturbing the batter.)
  • 9. Carefully spread on remaining batter.
  • 10. Sprinkle remaining streusel on top.
  • 11. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. (When I bake in a pyrex dish, I set oven to 325 degrees and bake for 50 minutes.)
  • 12. *If you don't have "pumpkin pie spice," make your own. My version is: 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ginger, and 1/8 tsp ground cloves. **Note: The last few years, I've been using an 11.5x8x2-inch pyrex baking dish which also works out nicely. The cake rises ALL the way to the top, but has never spilled over.

1 1/4 c canned pumpkin
1/4 c each- water & sugar
1 tsp cinnamon -divided
1/2 tsp allspice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 c chopped walnuts divided or more if choose

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Spray a bundt cake pan with Bakers Joy or grease and flour. In a large bowl, add cake mix minus the 2 tablespoons of cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, sour cream, sugar, water, allspice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Sprinkle evenly over cake. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes until pick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then with a plate over the cake pan, remove cake to plate. Cool and serve.
  • 2. So moist and delicious. Mine didn't last a day.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more vibrant flavor and color than canned pumpkin puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from overcooking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pumpkin cake. It is rich and tangy, and it complements the pumpkin flavor perfectly.

Conclusion:

Sour cream pumpkin cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. It is perfect for fall gatherings, but it is also a great choice for a simple weeknight dessert. With its moist texture, delicious flavor, and beautiful presentation, sour cream pumpkin cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
