Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup softened butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake:
cooking spray
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup yogurt
¾ cup softened butter
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix together brown sugar, walnuts, pecans, flour, butter, and cinnamon for the topping in a bowl until crumbly; set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
  • Combine sugar, yogurt, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder, and salt for the cake in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly mix in flour until combined; batter will be thick. Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Generously spread 1/2 of the brown sugar-cinnamon topping over top. Top with remaining batter and then remaining topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack, then place brown sugar-cinnamon side up on a plate to serve.

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick spray
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 pound granulated sugar
1 pound eggs, at room temperature
1 pound all-purpose flour, plus for the pan
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-low until thick and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions to ensure everything is homogenous. Slowly beat in the flour just until combined (the batter will be very thick).
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes to allow the sides to release, then invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons milk and whisk well. If the glaze drips off a spoon fluidly but slowly, it's done; if not, add more milk, a teaspoon or so at a time, until it does.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides. Serve.

Wow, this is a moist and delicious coffee cake. We all loved it! Part of the topping is swirled and mixed into the batter which carries all the brown sugar goodness throughout the cake. The maple glaze is so tasty. We opted to add macadamia nuts along with pecans to the topping which added a nice a crunch to the cake. Oh, and it...

CINNAMON AND SUGAR POUND CAKE



Cinnamon and Sugar Pound Cake image

This is a family favorite, that turned into everybody's favorite. It's easy, straight from the box with a few minor adjustments and you have a "homemade" cake......at least - that's what everybody thinks.

Provided by Tammy Hall

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box yellow cake mix
1 c dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon and sugar
1 c powdered sugar
3 large eggs
1 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Follow the directions on the back of the cake box (eggs, oil, water). Add 1 cup of dark brown sugar and tbsp of cinnamon and sugar. Mix ingredients together until well blended. Place mixture into a well greased bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour.
  • 2. Once cake is completely cooled, remove from bundt pan. Sprinkle cup of powdered sugar on top of cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugar cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just a casual snack, cinnamon sugar cake is sure to be a hit.
