THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE



The Best (Cinnamon Pecan) Coffee Cake image

I found this recipe ages ago in a magazine, and didn't try it until I was requested to bring a coffee cake to Easter brunch. Oh my gosh, the cake was amazing! The recipe was great as is, and I think you'll all enjoy it. I know the guests at the brunch did! (Tip: Now that I've made the recipe once, I do think that it could use more filling. Of course, that's just me, but if you have want an extra sweet coffee cake, I would double the filling recipe, then pour only 1/3 of the batter in the pan when you sprinkle the filling on it. Only sprinkle 1/2 the filling on the batter, pour in another 1/3 of the batter, sprinkle the rest of the filling on it, than pour the remaining cake batter on it. I think that will make the cake turn out even better! Just a suggestion... I'll let you know how it turns out after I try it!)

THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOIST BUTTERY BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE



The Absolute Best Moist Buttery Blueberry Coffee Cake image

This is the best coffee cake, it has a layer of blueberries between two layers of the most wonderful moist buttery cake then topped with a sweet buttery topping --- you could substitute 1 cup sour cream for the cream cheese but the cream cheese is better, also almond extract can be used in place of vanilla --- I serve this cake slightly warm with ice cream and it is even better the next day --- you will love this cake! :)

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 c sugar
4 large eggs
2 1/2 c flour
1 1/4 c sour cream
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
FOR THE STREUSEL
1/4 c light brown sugar
1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp cold unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c walnuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. 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.
  • 4. 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.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg yellow cake mix (mom used Duncan Hines golden yellow)
1/4 c sugar
4 eggs
1 c sour cream
1/2 c oil
1/4 c water
FILLING
1 c chopped walnuts
2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the filling ingredients and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 10 inch Bundt pan or tube pan.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar, water, and eggs together.
  • 3. Beat for 2 minutes.
  • 4. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan.
  • 5. Then the filling sprinkling it evenly around the top of the batter.
  • 6. Pour the remaining batter over the filling.
  • 7. Bake in the preheated oven (375 degrees) for 45-55 minutes.
  • 8. Once baked, allow the cake to cool about 10 minutes and turn out onto a serving plate.

Tips:

  • Soften the butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Use fresh baking powder: Old baking powder can lose its potency, so be sure to use a fresh batch when making coffee cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Don't overcook the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

Coffee cake is a classic breakfast treat that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious coffee cake that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch dish, give coffee cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
