WHOLE WHEAT COFFEE CAKE



WHOLE WHEAT COFFEE CAKE image

Number Of Ingredients 13

•1 cup Butter
•3 Eggs
•3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
•1/3 cup Wheat Germ
•1-1/2 tsp Baking Soda
•1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
•2 tsp Vanilla
•1-1/2 tsp Baking Powder
•1-1/2 cups Buttermilk
Filling
•1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
•1/2 cup chopped Pecan Halves
•2 tsp Cinnamon, Saigon (Premium)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well a 12 cup plain or bundt cake pan, set aside. In a large bowl beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir together flour, wheat germ, baking powder and baking soda. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to butter mixture. Blend well. Spoon 1/3 of batter evenly into your prepared pan and sprinkle with filling. Top with remaining batter. Bake for approximately 55 minutes, just until cake begins to pull from pan sides. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature, even good the second day. Makes 20 servings.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time, you can make the streusel topping and the cake batter ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful coffee cake. Use real butter, eggs, and milk, and be sure to use fresh fruit if possible.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan is a great option for baking coffee cake because it allows for even cooking and browning. If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can also use a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Serve Warm: Coffee cake is best served warm with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also top it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This whole wheat coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It's made with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, oats, and fresh fruit, and it's topped with a sweet and crunchy streusel topping. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
