¾ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
¾ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
  • Prepare cinnamon layer by stirring brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
  • Prepare streusel topping by combining brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Add butter and stir with a fork until mixture is crumbly; set aside.
  • Prepare cake by whisking together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn the mixer on low speed and beat in eggs until well blended. Gradually mix in flour mixture and milk. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat for 30 seconds.
  • Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon layer over the batter, then pour the remaining batter over top. Spread streusel topping evenly over the cake, pressing very lightly so it adheres to the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

Time 1h55m

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Make the streusel topping: Mix together flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until small to medium clumps form. Mix in 1/2 cup pecans. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the streusel center: Mix together remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 cup pecans.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: Butter a 9-inch tube pan with a removable bottom. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl.
  • Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Continue to beat until well combined.
  • Spoon half the batter into pan. Sprinkle streusel center mixture evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter, and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Sprinkle streusel topping mixture evenly over batter.
  • Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Remove cake from pan, and transfer to parchment.
  • Make the glaze: Mix together confectioners' sugar and milk. Drizzle over cake, and let drip down sides. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best-tasting coffee cake. Make sure your butter, eggs, and milk are cold for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the coffee cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • 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 2 months. To thaw, place the coffee cake in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours.

Conclusion

This cinnamon pecan streusel coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It has a moist and flavorful crumb, a sweet and crunchy streusel topping, and a creamy vanilla frosting. This coffee cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
