THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE
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!)

Tips:
- To ensure even baking, use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter mix smoothly and prevent lumps.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense coffee cake.
- For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, use a combination of ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a streusel topping that is extra crispy, use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar.
- To prevent the coffee cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- Serve the coffee cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
