A delightful coffee cake with a cinnamon pecan swirl, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
Greasing and flouring the pan ensures the cake releases easily after baking.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, and light brown sugar. Set aside.
Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Creaming the butter and sugar properly is key to a light and airy cake.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Adding eggs one at a time helps to maintain the emulsion.
In another bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Sifting the dry ingredients removes lumps and aerates the flour.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the full-fat sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Alternating additions prevent overmixing and ensures a smooth batter.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and sprinkle half of the pecan mixture over the batter.
Layering the batter and filling creates a beautiful swirl in the cake.
Repeat with the remaining batter and pecan mixture.
Ensure even layers for consistent flavor throughout the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes before the end of the baking time to avoid overbaking.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and let cool completely.
Cooling the cake slightly in the pan helps it set before inverting.
To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, warm water, and pure vanilla extract in a bowl and stir until smooth.
Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more water or powdered sugar as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
Drizzling the glaze in a zigzag pattern adds a decorative touch.
