Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 7/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment beforehand.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature.
3
Butter a standard-sized 8x10-inch baking dish to prevent sticking during cooking.
4
Combine pecans, white sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl, stirring until each component is evenly coated with butter.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
6
In a large mixing bowl, use a spatula to blend sugar and butter together until smooth.
7
Gradually incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
8
Add sour cream and vanilla to the mixing bowl, whisking until well combined.
9
Gradually add the flour mixture to the large bowl, stirring until just combined; avoid overmixing.
10
Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the pecan mixture.
11
Carefully pour the remaining batter over the topping, then sprinkle with the remaining pecan mixture.
12
Gently press the pecan mixture into the batter to ensure even distribution.
13
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
14
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
