Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make COFFEE CAKE!

Here's Anna Olson's guide to baking sour cream pecan coffee cake

Ingredients

Streusel

½ cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup chopped pecans

Cake

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 ½ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Streusel

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F 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.

Cake

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. The cake will keep, well wrapped and unrefrigerated for up to 3 days.

I’ve tried it, came out sooo yummy, I used a plain yogurt instead of sour cream and it did the job, thanks Anna

I made this cake today, totally unplanned. It’s amazing! Comes out so moist and light. I substituted walnuts for pecans because I didn’t have those. Best coffee cake! Thanks!

I can't believe how many times I've made this. Everyone loves it. I've made and eaten a lot of coffee cakes in my time and this one is by far the best.

It looks like this video was published a few years ago. I just stumbled upon it, looking for a coffee cake recipe so I could knock out a few and bring to office to share at an early morning staff meeting. You did not disappoint. This is probably the best coffee cake I have ever eaten. DELICIOUS and easy to make - foolproof. Thank you!

This looks delicious and I can't wait to make it. I love your channel. You make me want to stop everything I am doing and go into my kitchen! There isn't a single thing about your demonstrations that I would change! From the background music, to your kitchen set, up to your appearance, knowledge, and personality, it is all just right. Thank you Anna Olson!

The first try, I knew it was a success after coming out of the oven. It's perfectly risen with crunchy streusels so beautifully topping the cake. I gave it as a thank you gift to a friend. The next day, I baked one for myself. This is the best coffee cake or crumb cake that I ever tasted if I may say so myself. You are right giving the middle streusels a little swirl with a skewer kept the cake from separating also they layered and stayed perfectly in the middle unlike other recipes I tried by well known chefs, the middle streusels tend to move and sink almost to the bottom. This is a lifetime keeper, I shared this recipe with my sister overseas and suggested that she tries it when she entertains friend to a brunch at home.

There used to be a recipe for coffee cake on Bisquick boxes. They had you put the streusal on the bottom of the pan, then flip it over. Sometimes I'd also add sliced bananas on the bottom, which ended up being the top. This one looks really good too, but I don't have all the ingredients now. Lockdown and all that

Have made similar recipe for the last 60 years. We call it the Yum Yum coffee cake.

I thought there would be coffee in the cake. But apparently not.

[patriciasmith]

I never break my eggs directly into the bowl of my other ingredients because I’ve had eggs be bad or with blood streaks or I have dropped a piece of shell. So I always use a small bowl to drop in the eggs in one at a time. Every time I try to be cavalier and do it like she did and it’s a bad egg.
