Pecan Streusel Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For streusel:
• Combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add melted butter; toss with fork to blend. Using fingertips, rub mixture together until small clumps form. Mix in pecans. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
• For cake:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Using electric mixer, beat brown sugar, butter, and vanilla in large bowl until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Add half of flour mixture; beat just until blended. Add yogurt; beat just until blended. Beat in remaining flour mixture just until blended.
• Spoon half of batter into prepared baking pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle half of streusel evenly over batter. Spoon remaining batter in dollops over streusel, then spread evenly over with offset spatula. Sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over top.
• Bake cake until streusel topping is brown and tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
• A thick yogurt; sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Greek markets. If unavailable, spoon regular yogurt into cheesecloth-lined strainer set over large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight to drain.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease bottoms and sides of 8-inch cake pan; dust with flour.
• To make streusel topping: mix together brown sugar, sugar, flour, cinnamon, mace, ginger, and allspice.
• Using pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add pecans and work some of the mixture onto the nuts; set aside.
• To make cake: cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
• Separately combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
• Mix together dry ingredients with creamed butter and buttermilk, alternating with each, blending well after each addition.
• Pour half of batter into pan and smooth out; sprinkle half of streusel over batter.
• Pour remaining batter into pan and cover with remaining streusel. Bake at 350°F for 30-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove cake from oven and cool in pan 15-20 minutes.
• To remove from pan, invert plate over top and turn, remove pan, replace with plate and invert again. Replace dropped toppings to the top. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Sift flour and measure then sift together with the other dry ingredients. Beat the egg, then add the milk and melted shortening. Pour the wet into the dry then add the raw apples and mix well. Pour into a well greased 8-inch square pan. Mix together the streusel ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake at 400 about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve the coffee cake with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together. Butter a tube pan well and liberally coat it with the cinnamon sugar.
• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar and mix. Add the eggs and mix until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Working in batches, add them to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with dollops of sour cream. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, pinch the ingredients together into a sandy, crumbly mixture. Add the pecans and mix. Sprinkle the mixture over the cake.
• Bake until risen and browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan then turn out. Serve in slices.

Steps:

• To make the streusel: Put the flour, sugar and salt in a medium bowl and mix everything together by running the ingredients through your fingers. Drop in the butter and squeeze and rub the cubes into the mixture until you have a sandy mix. If you press a little streusel together, you'll get lumps, which is just what you want. Drizzle the vanilla over the streusel and toss, squeeze and rub to distribute it. Cover the bowl and chill the streusel until needed. (You can make the streusel up to 1 week ahead; pack it in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish.
• Mix pecans, 1/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until all components are coated with butter, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, mix together butter and 1 cup sugar with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla and sour cream; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk until flour disappears (do not over mix).
• Spread one half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter one half of the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Very gently press crumbs into batter. Bake in preheated oven until a bamboo skewer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Streusel and filling are the first five ingredients listed.
• Make the filling by combining the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa in a bowl, set aside.
• Make the cake my stirring together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and oil.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together 3 Tablespoons butter and white sugar. This will resemble crumbs.
• Add the wet ingredients, (egg mixture) to the sugar butter and mix together until well combined.
• Add the flours, (1 cup white and 3 tbls. whole wheat) baking powder, and salt to the batter and now mix all together until well combined. Batter will be on the thick side.
• Grease an 8 inch pan and add half the batter to the pan.
• Now take the brown sugar cinnamon cocoa mixture and sprinkle half of it on the top of the batter in the pan.
• Put the remaining cake batter on top of the filling. This might require you to spread it evenly over the filling.
• Add 1/4 flour, 2 Tablespoons butter, and finely chopped pecans to the remaining brown sugar mixture to make the streusel topping.
• Place streusel on top of cake.
• Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour six mini loaf pans (each 5 3/4 by 3 inches, with a 2-cup capacity). Make streusel topping: In a bowl, mix streusel ingredients with fingertips until moist clumps form. Place in freezer.
• Make cherry-pecan batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients until moistened. Fold in dried cherries and pecans.
• Divide batter evenly among prepared pans; spread to fill corners. Place pans on a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, and quickly sprinkle loaves with streusel topping.
• Return loaves to oven; bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool loaves 10 minutes in pans; turn out of pans, and cool completely, streusel side up, on a rack.

Steps:

• To make the streusel: Combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Rub the softened butter into the flour mixture until it holds together when squeezed. Gently mix in the pecans; set aside.
• To make the coffeecake: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flavorings, and buttermilk.
• Mix on low speed for one minute, scrape the bowl, and beat for another 30 seconds; scrape the bowl.
• Slowly add the eggs, one at a time, combining well after each addition; scrape the bowl after each egg is added.
• Once all the eggs are added, scrape the bowl and mix on medium speed for one minute. Gently fold the cranberries in by hand.
• To assemble the Cranberry-Pecan Streusel Coffeecake: Grease an 8x8 inch square pan and place about half of the batter in the pan. Smooth it out evenly with a small offset spatula or a knife.
• Spread 1/3 of the streusel topping over the coffeecake batter. Place the remaining coffeecake batter on top of the streusel topping and gently smooth out to the edges of the pan.
• Top with the remaining streusel.
• An alternative to layering the coffeecake and streusel is to place all of the coffeecake batter in the pan, top with 2/3 of the streusel, and marble the streusel through the coffeecake with a knife by drawing the knife down through the streusel and into the batter, making swirling motions. Once swirled, top with the remaining streusel.
• Bake the coffeecake in a 350°F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center tests clean. *** Changed time from the original 45-50 minutes, because of recipe reviewer. ***.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan.
• This cake is very delicate with a crunchy streusel if served warm the same day, so if you prefer a slightly denser coffeecake with a softer streusel crumb, serve the coffeecake the next day. After the cake has cooled, wrap it well in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
• * Regular pastry flour can be substituted for whole wheat pastry flour.
• ** If buttermilk is not available, place 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and fill to the ¼ cup mark with milk.

Steps:

• Make the streusel: Preheat oven to 400°F; set out two cookie sheets or rimmed baking sheets; combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl; add the butter, vanilla and pecans; using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is reduced to small bits; crumble and press the mixture between your fingertips until it adheres to itself and forms moist, sandy-textured lumps; set aside.
• Make the scone dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom; drop in the chunks of butter and, using a pastry blender, cut the chunks into the flour until they are reduced to the size of large pearls; stir in the granulated sugar; add the raisins to the flour along with the liquid mixture and stir to form a dough.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly about 10 times; divide the dough in half and form each piece into a 6 1/2- to 7-inch round disc; cut each round into 6 pie-shaped wedges; carefully pick up each scone, brush the top with a little of the milk and press a large handful of the streusel mixture on the top; after it is covered with the topping mixture, carefully transfer the scone to the baking sheet, placing the scones about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake the scones for 17 to 18 minutes, or until golden and set; cool the scones on the baking sheet for a minute, then remove them to a cooling rack.
• Serve warm, or cool thoroughly; store in an airtight container, for up to 3 days (or freeze) and reheat at another time.
