Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake

ByMelissa

Ingredients

  • 1/2 unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 cups plain flour

Method

1) Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch square pan.
2) For the streusel, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and
stir in the melted butter until evenly combined. Stir in the pecans and
set aside.
3) For the cake, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and allspice. In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, sour
cream, eggs and vanilla. Stir this into the flour mixture until evenly
blended. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle
half of the streusel on top. Use a skewer or paring knife to swirl the
streusel in a bit. Top with the remaining batter, spread and then top the
cake with the remaining streusel, giving the cake another little swirl.
4) Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan to room
temperature before slicing.
5) The cake will keep, well wrapped and unrefrigerated for up to 3 days.
