Deliciously moist coffee cake with a rich pecan topping.
For me, the best part about any coffee cake recipe is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumb topping. In this recipe, I significantly increased the amount of crumb topping and hid a layer inside the cake!





Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
