This year, resolve to think beyond a ho-hum box of chocolates for a hostess gift. Instead, pass on this sweet treat, which marries two Southern specialties, coffee cake and pound cake, to create one buttery, best-of-both-worlds dessert.
Pour half of batter into a greased and floured 10-inch (12-cup) tube pan. Stir together toasted pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Spoon remaining batter over pecan mixture; sprinkle with Pecan Streusel.
Yes I made this recipe in muffins using tall paper the crumb falls off top of muffin otherwise
Can I make this into cupcakes, like a cupcake muffin? Im taking it to an even t and thought it would be easier to eat...
This coffee cake is so moist and delicious. Easy to bake even if you use loaf pans like I did. Will definitely make again.
This is wonderful! A great combination of Pound Cake and Coffee Cake. To Neetero: The recipe would have probably been clearer if it had been written so that you prepared a Pecan Streusel, the Pound Cake Batter AND a PECAN FILLING. The 1 cup of pecans, the 1/4 cup of brown sugar and the 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon become the PECAN FILLING and not part of the streusel.
Absolutely delicious. Did not change anything, The filling and streusel is a lot but I did not reduce it. I am glad I did not. The pound cake is lighter than I thought it would be. I will make it again.
The cake itself was good however the streusel topping was too much ... I think if I baked this again I would cut back on the topping maybe try adding diced apple to the filling
Have this cake baking in the oven now....I forgot the cinnamon and brown sugar because I was reading the instructions it wasnt listed there only in the ingredients and I didnt notice it again until it went in the oven. I left the nuts , but I love poundcake so I'm still expecting this to be delicious even though I forgot those 2 things....fingers crossed!
Cajun...how about fat-free greek yogurt instead of sour cream
any substitute for sour cream?
Actually a flute pan looks similar to a bundt pan, but you can remove the outside ring and leave the base in place under the cake, much like a springform pan. A bundt pan is all one piece, and you have to turn the cake upside down to remove it from the mold. So, yes, if you wanted to bake this in a bundt pan, you would have to put the topping in first.
This is not a review, but a question. I don't have a tube pan, can I bake in a bundt cake pan, and if I do, should I put the streusel on the bottome of the pan, so it will on the top of the coffee cake? Linda
This recipe is simply outstanding! I did it for friends ... with no left-overs, and many requests for the recipe. All those nuts! YUM!- For those people who found it wasn't done in the time suggested, have your oven's thermometer checked. The directions also say to use a long wooden pick to check doneness.
Lots and lots of streusel!! Note: step 5 asks you to mix the toasted pecans brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over half of the batter that has been "poured" into the tube pan. I baked for an hour and 30 min using an oven thermometer as my oven is a bit off calibration- turned out great!
I made it for work and everyone loved it! I will make it again.
This was fabulous!! Made it for Christmas morning and everyone loved it!
I baked according to directions (one and a half hours). It was NOT done. IF you make this, be sure to overbake by about 1/2 hour or you will be wasting these expensive ingredients. We had to throw it out.
Very good tasting, moist cake even though I overbaked it by 30 minutes. I added a pinch of salt since I used unsalted butter but will add a little more the next time.
No where in the recipe does the 1 cup of finely chopped pecans get added to the cake batter. Step 1 indicates adding 3/4 cup pecans to the streusel. Step 2 calls to toast 1 cup of pecans, step 5 re-adds pecans to the streusel. Can someone clarify if pecans are to be added to the batter?
Moist flavorful pound cake, with the enticing flavors of a coffee cake. YUM!
