Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake
From now on, Karen will only demonstrate in the kitchen once a month. We will have members of the community kitchen to share once a month since there will be 2 meetings in a month.
Jean made a Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake in the Gilmore Park Church Community Kitchen. It’s been a while since Jean demonstrated in the kitchen. We missed her cooking. Welcome back Jean.
This Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake is crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. I love to munch on the crispy bits left behind.

- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

 Cool, slice and enjoy with your coffee or tea.
Jean, thank you for sharing. |
Dear Suanne,
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I usually don’t bake something that I can buy. (Usually, I buy a small piece from Starbucks). However, I may try to bake this for a breakfast gathering. Homemade goods are always welcome at gatherings. :)
p/s Thanks for sharing the step by step recipe with photos.
thank you for the recipe it looks very good but we dont have the sour cream can we exchange it with yougret please respond soon
thanks
Hi Wedad, you can substitute the sour cream with yogurt and add 1/2 teaspoon more of baking soda.
I have reading the recipe for Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake.
At the end of the instructions: you say to cool and slice.
should I take the cake out of the pan?
Or should I leave it in the pan.
Sorry but this is inportant, , there are not many cakes you cool completly in pan.
Tank you

Hi Jean, for home cooking, I usually leave the cake in the glass pan and slice the cake in it when it’s cool. For a more professional approach, you should remove the cake from the after 10 minutes so that the bottom of the cake dont become soggy. But, I never have problem with that.

Thank you for posting this recipe!
I tried it the other day with walnuts in substitute of the pecans and it came out amazing. Very moist, just like you said. And I love the crispy bits too. The sugary crust just makes it perfect.
