June 29, 2010 Brown Sugar-Pecan Coffee Cake

With all of these coffee giveaways recently featured on Three Boys and an Old Lady, I figured it was about time I shared a couple of my favorite coffee cake recipes. Coffee cake is one of the easiest baking recipes and this one is sure to please.  If you like you can add 1/2 chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping for a little extra crunch. 

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1. Stir flour and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or 2 forks until crumbly. Press about 2 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture evenly on the bottom of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan.

2. Mix sour cream, egg, and baking soda; add to remaining crumb mixture and stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Pour sour cream mixture over crumb crust in pan; sprinkle evenly with cinnamon mixture.

3. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.
