Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. This will be the filling.

Step 8

In another small bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the chopped pecans, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

Step 9

Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Layer the cream cheese filling over the batter, spreading it gently to create an even layer.

Step 11

Top the cream cheese layer with the remaining batter, spreading it carefully to cover the filling.

Step 12

Sprinkle the pecan streusel mixture evenly over the top of the coffee cake.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 14

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then slice and serve.

Step 15

Enjoy your Cream Cheese Pecan Coffee Cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
