Sour Cream Coffee Cake With Pears And Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter a 9 inch Bundt or tube pan. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar into the pan, and tilt to coat the buttered surface. Shake out the excess.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla and sour cream, mixing just until blended. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the chopped pears using a rubber spatula.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and pecans. Spoon 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the pecan mixture. Repeat layers two more times, ending with the pecan mixture on top.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed, or a knife inserted into the crown comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then run a knife around the outside edge of the cake. Carefully invert onto a cooling rack. If the cake won't come out of the pan, tap it firmly with a knife on the bottom and sides of the pan. Set aside to cool completely.
• When cool, transfer the cake to a serving plate using two spatulas. Drizzle with the caramel ice cream topping before serving.

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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
• Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
• For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.
• Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water if necessary, to make the glaze runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
• Use an electric mixer to cream the granulated sugar and butter together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating each addition of flour with the addition of half the sour cream. Stir in the vanilla.
• For the streusel: In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half the streusel mixture. Pour another third of the batter into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining streusel mixture. Scrape the remaining batter into the pan and make smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: When the cake is completely cooked, stir the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• Grease a 9" spring form pan or a 9x9x2 inch baking pan; set aside.
• In a small bowl combine walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• For the topping: In another small bowl, cut the 1/4 cup butter into 1/3 cup flour until crumbly. Stir in 1/4 cup of the nut mixture.
• Toss the pear slices with the lemon juice and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl beat the 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in the granulated sugar and vanilla.
• Add one egg at a time beating after each addition. Alternately add the flour mixture with the sour cream to egg mixture.
• Beat on low speed after each addition until combined.
• Spread two thirds of the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved nut mixture. Layer the pear slices on top. Gently spread remaining batter over pears.
• Sprinkle with reserved topping.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack. If using remove the sides from your spring form pan and cool for an additional 30 minutes.
