SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR-PECAN STREUSEL(ATK)

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of a 10 inch pan.
• For the Steusel - Place the flour, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, and the cinnamon in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Transfer 1 1/4 cups of the mixture to small bowl and stir in remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar; set aside (this will be the streusel for the inside of the cake). Add the butter and pecans to the remaining dry ingredients in the food processor bowl. Pulse the mixture about 3-4 times until the nuts and butter have been broken down into small pebbly pieces. Set aside. (The streusel with the butter and nuts will be for the top of the cake). If you do not have a food process, you could also do this with a pastry cutter but note it will take a bit more time.
• For the Cake - In a small bowl, combine the eggs, 1 cup of the sour cream and vanilla and set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt at low speed, about 30 seconds. Add the butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix at low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed and beat 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Decrease the mixer speed to low and slowly incorporate the egg mixture in 3 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each and scraping the sides of bowl as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 1 minute (the batter should increase in volume and become aerated and pale in color).
• Add 2 cups of the batter to the prepared pan. With an offset metal spatula or rubber spatula, smooth the surface of the batter. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel filling (without butter or nuts). Drop 2 more cups of the batter over the streusel and spread evenly. Then add the remaining streusel filling. Top with remaining batter and then the streusel topping (with the butter and nuts).
• Bakes until the cake feels firm to the touch and a toothpick comes inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then release the clasps of the springform pan and cool completely and serve.

STRAWBERRY-SOUR CREAM SCONES WITH BROWN SUGAR CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse bread crumbs. Add the strawberries and toss until the berries are coated with flour. Whisk together the egg, sour cream, 1/4 cup of the milk, and vanilla. Pour this onto the flour mixture and then fold them together until all the flour is moistened. If necessary, add up to 1/4 cup of additional milk until a shaggy, moist dough is formed. Try not to overwork the dough. Sprinkle a little flour on your counter, turn out the dough, and sprinkle a little more flour on top. Pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1-inch thick, and use a bench scraper to cut the scones into wedges. Transfer the scones to a greased baking sheet. Combine the ingredients for the topping and use your fingers to crumble this evenly over all of the scones. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the scones are firm on the outside and golden in spots. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. These scones are best on the day that they're made. If you're planning on keeping them for several days, skip the topping (which will absorb moisture and get mushy) and instead smear them with butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar just before eating.

BROWN SUGAR SOUR CREAM CHEESECAKE

• Mix graham cracker crumbs,cornmeal, sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Mix with fork til crumbs are evenly moistened. Press crumbs into bottom and half an inch up the side of pan. You can use the bottom of a 1/4 cu measuring cup for this. It allows a smoother crust than you can get using your fingers. Bake for about 8 minutes, or til crust just starts to pick up a bit of color around edge. Remove from oven and let cool. Leave oven on.
• Mix cream cheese, butter and brown sugar in bowl of mixer fitted with paddle attachment or in large bowl with handheld mixer and mix til very smooth. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed.

• Meanwhile, whisk together sour cream, brown sugar and brandy or bourbon or orange juice. Ass soon as the cake is done, remove it from oven and turn oven up to 350. Slowly and evenly pour sour cream topping over cake. You can use an offset spatula to help spread it into a even layer. Bake for 3 minutes or til topping is just set. Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving. Serves 12
• Notes: The timing for the final baking in the low oven differs widely from oven to oven. The only way to be sure is to nudge the cake and check that the edge is set and the center is just jiggly. This takes anywhere form 20 to 40 minutes. the topping may bake longer than 3 minutes to set. How long depends on how quickly our oven reheat. Don't leave cake in too long, though. You want the topping to barely set, usually 5 to 10 minutes.
• Also, have all your ingredients at room temperature. Don't overbeat the filling. Line the sides and bottom of pan with parchment paper. Don't overbake: overbaking is the most common cause of cracking. Cool cake completely on wire rack before refrigeration, If the surface still cracks, decorate it with berries.
