Classic Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
1-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp. baking powder
Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake
1/4 c. unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg, beaten
3/4 c. whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Topping
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. light brown sugar
1/4 c. chopped pecans
Glaze
1 Tbsp. water
6 Tbsp. confectioners sugar
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 8x8" square baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter to cut butter into flour mixture until coarse crumb forms. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle it over top of batter in pan. Use a butter knife to cut lines through batter. Sprinkle top with chopped pecans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, then allow cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes on cooling rack. Whisk together water and confectioners sugar to make glaze and drizzle over the top of the cake before slicing and serving.
