Cinnamon Coffee Cake
by deeder5
Ground cinnamon gives the topping for this coffee cake its signature zing; the cake itself gets an extra boost of flavor from cinnamon extract. The cinnamon oil is too much! Next time I will try it with cinnamon extract. The cake, filling and crumb were superb
INGREDIENTS
- 16 tbsp. unsalted butter ; melted, plus more for pan
- 3 3/4 cups flour ; plus more for pan
- 1 1/4 cups sugar ; ( plus 2 tsp)
- 6 tbsp. packed light brown sugar ; ( plus 1.5 tsp)
- 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon ; ( plus 0.5 tsp)
- 1 1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
- 1/3 cup pecans ; finely chopped
- 2 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1 cup Milk
- 6 tbsp. Sour cream
- 2 1/4 tsp. Vanilla extract
- cinnamon extract
- 2 Eggs
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat oven to 325?. Grease an 8" x 8" baking pan with a little butter and sprinkle with a little flour; set aside. Make topping: In a bowl, mix 8 tbsp. melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 6 tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp. salt until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; mix with a fork until crumbly; chill. Make filling: In a bowl, mix remaining brown sugar, 2 tsp. sugar, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, and pecans; set filling aside.
2. Make cake batter: In another bowl, whisk together remaining flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder; set aside. In a large measuring cup, whisk together remaining butter, milk, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon extract, and eggs until smooth. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients; whisk to combine. Pour half the batter into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle filling over top; pour remaining batter over it. Break up reserved topping with fingers; sprinkle over top; bake until a toothpick inserted into middle of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool before serving.
NOTES
leave out cinnamon oil; it gave an aftertaste reminiscent of cinnamon candy; next time I will try cinnamon extract.
