This is so good with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast or brunch. You may let these rise the night before, place them in the refrigerator, and place them in your preheated oven the next morning.(Its similar to a recipe called "monkey bread")

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pkg frozen white dinner rolls
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1 box small, butterscotch pudding and pie filling
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 stick butter, melted
1 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine sugar, dry pudding mix, and cinnamon. Dip frozen rolls in the melted butter then roll in the sugar mixture. Place in the bottom of a lightly greased bundt pan. Sprinkle with pecans. Layer more rolls dipped in the sugar mix and sprinkle with pecans. there will be about 12 rolls in all (1/2 of a 24count bag) Put remaining butter, sugar mixture, and pecans on top.. Cover bundt pan with plastic and place in a warm place to thaw and rise about five or six hours until double in size. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake 20-25 minutes.
  • 2. The picture shown was made from a recipe that called for an entire 24 roll bag of frozen dinner rolls, and it was too much for my bundt pan, so I use 1/2 bag of rolls with better results.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the amount of salt in your coffee cake.
  • Bring your ingredients to room temperature: This will help them mix together more evenly and result in a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan or a loaf pan: Either type of pan will work for this coffee cake.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the coffee cake is fully cooked.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the coffee cake for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch Coffee Cake is the perfect treat for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet butterscotch filling, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to please everyone.
