Pecan Coffee Cake


 I love when I can use my Holiday Tree Bundt pan!  Isn't the tree form pretty for Christmas time?  The tea set was one that my youngest son gave me years ago, and it's so pretty sitting on my coffee table.  the angel was gifted to me by a friend who passed away five years ago.  Reminders of friends always warms my heart.  




Yield: 1 bundt cake

Pecan Coffee Cake

I got this recipe from a friend, and it is so tasty, and perfect for brunch. I sprinkled some powdered sugar on to resemble snowfall, but I intend to make the glaze and pour on before serving.

ingredients:

Cake:
1 package yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 - 4 oz vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup  oil (canola)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon butter extract

Streusel mixture:
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon butter extract

instructions:

Mix all cake ingredients on high speed of mixer for about  5 minutes.
Hand Mix in separate bowl the streusel mixture.
Spray bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.  I used a spray that had flour in it, such as Baker's Joy.
Sprinkle bottom of Bundt pan with 1/4 c. streusel mixture.
Pour 1/3 of batter in pan, layer with 1/2 of streusel , then another third of batter, rest of streusel,  and final third of batter.
Bake 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let cool on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes, and then remove the cake from the pan.  Let cool. 
Mix ingredients for the glaze and pour over the cake. 
Enjoy!

Four year old Harper was in her school's Nativity performance, as a sweet angel.  I'm always happy to attend important events in my grandchildren's lives.

 

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you!  May God's grace and blessings surround you during this most special season.  


I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
