For me, the best part about coffee cake is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumbs. So here I significantly upped the amounts used. Bake times will vary according to pan size and composition.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Nut Dessert Recipes     Pecan Dessert Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish.
  • Mix pecans, 1/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until all components are coated with butter, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, mix together butter and 1 cup sugar with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla and sour cream; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk until flour disappears (do not over mix).
  • Spread one half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter one half of the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Very gently press crumbs into batter. Bake in preheated oven until a bamboo skewer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE WITH PECANS



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake With Pecans image

By substituting pecans (or other nuts) for the usual maraschino cherries, this twist on a classic upside-down cake is less sweet and crunchier than the usual recipe. Caramelizing the brown sugar in a skillet before adding the fruit gives you a particularly deep, complex flavor. Because of the moisture in the topping, you'll need to bake this cake a little longer than other, similar butter cakes. Underbaked cake will be soggy and apt to fall apart, but an ideal result will have a well-browned surface and dark, slightly crunchy edges.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 (10-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/71 grams light brown sugar
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 pound peeled pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch slices (3 cups; see Tip)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups/195 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that's OK.
  • Add fruit and nuts, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on bottom of skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle in baking powder, baking soda and salt into the batter, one at a time, and whisking vigorously after each addition. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that's OK. Don't overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly.
  • Bake until surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling along the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula along the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake into serving platter. If some fruit or nuts stick to bottom of the skillet, gently remove them using offset spatula or knife and place back onto cake. Let cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Using ripe pineapple will ensure that your coffee cake has a sweet and juicy flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple on hand, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and give them a slightly crunchy texture. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the traditional pan used for coffee cake, but you can also use a 9x13 inch baking pan. If you use a baking pan, you may need to adjust the baking time.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the coffee cake cool before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

Pecan pineapple coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its sweet and tangy flavor, and moist and fluffy texture, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
