WHAT IS COFFEE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Brew a very strong cup of coffee (see our blog and coming videos for ways to do this) and cool it off in the fridge before continuing. You could do this the day before.
• Finely chop your pecans or walnuts or pulse them a few times in a food processor. Then mix them with the cinnamon and sugar to finish the streusel. Set aside for later.
• Combine all your dry ingredients for the cake and mix together.
• Combine the cold strong coffee with the buttermilk and vanilla and whisk together. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and if you’re using a bundt pan, lightly butter it and dust it with flour so your cake will come out easily. We use a 9x13 pan
• Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat together the sugar and soft butter until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes with a stand mixer or 10 minutes with a hand mixer.
• Mix in one egg at a time, mixing on low after each egg.
• Add your dry and wet ingredients to the batter in the following order, stirring after every step: 1/3 dry mix, 1/2 wet mix, 1/3 dry mix, the remaining wet mix, the remaining dry mix. Mix well and scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is well combined.
• Pour half of your batter into your 9x13 or bundt pan. Add half your streusel in an even layer. Top with rest of your batter and the remaining streusel.
• Bake at 350 degrees until a wooden skewer comes out cleanly, about 35 minutes for a 9x13 pan and an hour for a bundt pan. It could vary based on your pan so just check it regularly.
• Cool the cake for 10 minutes on a rack and then, if you used a bundt pan, invert it on a plate to carefully remove the cake. You can slide a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake a bit.
• Cool the cake completely.
• Mix glaze ingredients together and drizzle over cake.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth. , Spoon a third of batter into a greased 10-in. tube pan. Combine cinnamon, nuts and remaining 3/4 cup sugar; sprinkle one-third of mixture over batter in pan. Repeat layers 2 more times. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
