In episode Coffee Cakes of TV show Bake with Anna Olson prepares Anna Olson recipe for Butter Tart Coffee Cake.

Number Of Ingredients 19

all-purpose flour
baking powder
salt
ground cinnamon
packed light brown sugar
butter
sour cream
large egg
vanilla extract
packed light brown sugar
all-purpose flour
baking powder
ground cinnamon
eggs
corn syrup
butter
whiskey or brandy
vanilla extract
raisins

Steps:

  • Cake - Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust it with flour, taping out any excess. For the cake, sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together and stir in the brown sugar. Cut in the cool butter until the mixture is crumbly, but bits of butter are still visible. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream, egg and vanilla together and add this to the flour mixture, beating on medium-high speed if using electric beaters or a stand mixer, or vigorously by hand, until the mixer is smooth, light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape this into the prepared pan, spread to level and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes while preparing the topping. Butter Tart Topping - For the topping, whisk the brown sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the corn syrup, melted butter, whiskey or brandy (if using) and vanilla. Pour this into the sugar mixture and whisk until it is evenly blended. Stir in the raisins. Pour this over the slightly cooled cake and spread the raisins evenly over the top (sometimes they clump up when the topping is poured on). Return the cake to the 350 F to bake for 20 minutes until the topping has bubbled and set. Cool the cake to room temperature before serving. The cake will keep, wrapped and unrefrigerated for up to 3 days.

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup chopped pecans
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 ½ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-inch square pan.
  • For the streusel, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and stir in the melted butter until evenly combined. Stir in the pecans and set aside.
  • For the cake, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and allspice. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Stir this into the flour mixture until evenly blended. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle half of the streusel on top. Use a skewer or paring knife to swirl the streusel in a bit. Top with the remaining batter, spread and then top the cake with the remaining streusel, giving the cake another little swirl.
  • Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan to room temperature before slicing.
  • The cake will keep, well wrapped and unrefrigerated for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the process go much smoother.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This will help to ensure that your cake batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making it light and fluffy.
  • Gradually Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the cake.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Serve the Cake with Fresh Fruit or Berries: This will add a delicious and refreshing touch to your coffee cake.
