Provided by sherryl61

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING AND CENTER
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
FOR THE CAKE
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
FOR THE GLAZE
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. NOTE: This batter is very thick! I used an ice cream scoop to place batter in the pan. I also layered the streusel in 3 layers instead of two since there is a lot. I LOVE lots of crumb, but you can reduce the topping if you want a bit less.

Time 1h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

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.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this allows them to mix more evenly and yields better results.
  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter and flour, as they significantly impact the flavor and texture of the coffee cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a tender crumb.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon) in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix. Overmixing can result in a tough crumb.
  • For the streusel topping, use a pastry blender or two forks to combine the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the prepared pan, then pour the remaining batter on top. Finally, sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake the coffee cake according to the recipe's instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is ready.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
