Melt in your mouth. My mother-in-law actually asked for this recipe… now THAT’S saying something.

Amazing Pecan Coffee Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 cup butter, softened
    1 cup sour cream
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
     
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 cup chopped pecans
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

    2 In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sour cream, then beat in sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. By hand, fold in the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Spread batter into prepared pan.

    3 To make the Pecan Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over cake batter in pan.

    4 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack, and remove foil.
