Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup bourbon
3/4 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
1 box Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan generously with cooking spray, and set it on cookie sheet.
  • In 1-quart saucepan or 6-inch skillet, brown 1/2 cup butter by melting over medium heat until it begins to foam, then beat constantly with whisk until solid bits in butter turn dark brown and smell fragrant like toffee. Remove from heat, and pour butter into heatproof dish to cool.
  • In small bowl, mix bourbon and cherries; allow to soak about 10 minutes. In medium bowl, beat sour cream, cooled browned butter and eggs with whisk. Beat bourbon-soaked cherries into sour cream mixture with whisk.
  • In large bowl, place cake mix and pecans. Fold in sour cream mixture until just combined. Scrape batter into pan.
  • In small bowl, mix Streusel ingredients. Pinch butter into mixture until sandy and clumps form when pinched. Sprinkle streusel over batter in pan.
  • Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes. Loosen cake from pan using sharp, thin knife; remove from pan. Cool completely before serving with or without glaze (see tip for glaze).

This coffee cake was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

The coffee cake didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This coffee cake was a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit more butter or oil to the batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the streusel topping to crumble. I ended up adding a little bit of extra butter and it worked out fine.

This coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I was a bit skeptical about the brown butter and bourbon combination, but I'm glad I tried it! The coffee cake was moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping was delicious.

This coffee cake was a hit! The brown butter and bourbon gave it a rich, nutty flavor, and the cherries and pecans added a touch of sweetness and crunch. It was easy to make and turned out perfectly moist. I will definitely be making this again!
