SOURDOUGH PECAN COFFEE CAKE



Sourdough Pecan Coffee Cake image

If you enjoy using sourdough, you know it can be a challenge to time the bake with time to feed your starter! When it's time to feed, it's time to discard some of the starter, and you may or may not be ready to bake bread. This recipe uses the starter that you discard to create a yummy coffee cake for those mornings when you have just a bit of extra time. I like to make the streusel first, so it's ready to go when I need it. There is also an optional glaze.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
5 ⅓ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg

½ cup pecans, broken into pieces
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour an 8x8-inch cake pan.
  • Cut cold butter into small pieces with a knife and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Use a pastry knife or 2 forks to cut butter into dry ingredients until large crumbs form. Set streusel aside.
  • Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy. Add egg and mix for 1 minute. Add sourdough discard and dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle streusel on top, followed by the pecan pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt together to make the glaze. Add more sugar to make a thicker glaze, or more milk to make a thinner glaze.
  • Pour the glaze into a resealable plastic bag and seal. Snip a tiny piece, about 1/8 of an inch, off one of the bottom corners. Hold bag over the cake and squeeze the glaze through the tiny opening, moving your hand across the top, drizzling glaze as you go. Cut cake into 9 pieces and serve.

SOURDOUGH COFFEE CAKE



Sourdough Coffee Cake image

I usually just throw this coffee cake together and monkey around with the consistency until it is just right. Sometimes I melt a little cream cheese and put it in and the sugar can be adjusted up or down depending on how sour your starter tastes. I find frozen or dried fruit work a little better but I have used fresh peaches...

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE CAKE:
3 c bisquick
1 1/2 c white sugar
2/3 c sourdough starter
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c milk or half & half
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 c melted butter
2 c fruit (bluberries, blackberries, etc.)
FOR THE STREUSEL
1/4 c cold butter
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c bisquick
2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Stir all the cake ingredients together until well mixed. Add 2 cups of fruit if you so desire. I've used blueberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, dried apriocots, dried cranberries, chopped dates and rhubarb. I would up the sugar for raspberry or rhubarb. I usually do a light icing as well for rhubarb.
  • 2. Pour the cake into a well greased 9x13 pan and tap the pan on the counter to help break up any air bubbles
  • 3. For the streusel, mix the dry ingredients together and then cut in the butter using a fork or a pastry blender and sprinkle over the top of the cake.
  • 4. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes and check. It will likely take at least an hour and maybe as much as an hour and 15 minutes depending on your oven.

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • If you don't have a sourdough starter, you can make your own using a simple recipe.
  • The cake batter should be thick and pourable.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Sourdough coffee cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It's easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings and fillings. Whether you're a sourdough novice or a seasoned baker, this recipe is sure to please.
