For the cake

For the topping

Optional: Powdered Sugar Glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl or bread pan, combine all cake ingredients.

    🥄 Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best rise!

  2. Set the dough: Select the Dough setting on your mixer or bread machine, then press "Start/Stop." Let it work its magic!

  3. Shape the cake: Once the unit signals with a “0:00” display, press "Start/Stop" and gently remove the dough. Pat it into a greased 9-inch round or 5 x 7 inch oblong cake pan.

  4. Make the topping: Drizzle the melted butter over the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough.

  5. Rise again: Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until it has puffed up.

  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. Cool and glaze: Allow the coffee cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with the optional powdered sugar glaze for an extra touch of sweetness!

Optional Powdered Sugar Glaze Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar, water or milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled coffee cake.

🍽️ This glaze adds a lovely finishing touch that compliments the cinnamon flavors beautifully!
