PECAN SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish.
• Mix pecans, 1/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until all components are coated with butter, 3 to 4 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In another bowl, mix together butter and 1 cup sugar with a spatula until well blended. Add 1 egg and whisk until mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in second egg until thoroughly incorporated. Add vanilla and sour cream; whisk together. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients; whisk until flour disappears (do not over mix).
• Spread one half of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter one half of the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Top with the rest of the batter and spread carefully to evenly distribute, trying not to disturb the crumbs. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture. Very gently press crumbs into batter. Bake in preheated oven until a bamboo skewer comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

COFFEE CAKE SCONES WITH PECAN STREUSEL CRUNCH

Steps:

• Make the streusel: Preheat oven to 400°F; set out two cookie sheets or rimmed baking sheets; combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium-size mixing bowl; add the butter, vanilla and pecans; using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is reduced to small bits; crumble and press the mixture between your fingertips until it adheres to itself and forms moist, sandy-textured lumps; set aside.
• Make the scone dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom; drop in the chunks of butter and, using a pastry blender, cut the chunks into the flour until they are reduced to the size of large pearls; stir in the granulated sugar; add the raisins to the flour along with the liquid mixture and stir to form a dough.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead lightly about 10 times; divide the dough in half and form each piece into a 6 1/2- to 7-inch round disc; cut each round into 6 pie-shaped wedges; carefully pick up each scone, brush the top with a little of the milk and press a large handful of the streusel mixture on the top; after it is covered with the topping mixture, carefully transfer the scone to the baking sheet, placing the scones about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Bake the scones for 17 to 18 minutes, or until golden and set; cool the scones on the baking sheet for a minute, then remove them to a cooling rack.
• Serve warm, or cool thoroughly; store in an airtight container, for up to 3 days (or freeze) and reheat at another time.
