  • 2 3/4 Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Eggs, Beaten
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt

  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Glaze:

  • 1 Cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Milk

Garnish:

  • 3/4 Cup Pecans, Chopped

Instructions

  • Generously butter and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.  Preheat the oven to 350 degree.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and 2 cups of the sugar.
  • Add eggs, blending well after each addition, then the sour cream and vanilla. 
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, add salt.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, and mix just until blended. Do not overmix
  • In a small bowl, mix remaining 3/4 cup sugar with pecans and cinnamon. 
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then top with half of the pecan and sugar mixture. Add remaining batter and sprinkle the top with remaining pecan mixture.
  • Place the cake on the center rack in preheated oven and bake until a cake tester inserted in center of the cake comes out clean, about 60 minutes. 
     
  • Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk together until smooth. Add more milk as necessary to obtain a pouring consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled coffee cake. Garnish with chopped pecans
