THE BEST (CINNAMON PECAN) COFFEE CAKE



The Best (Cinnamon Pecan) Coffee Cake image

I found this recipe ages ago in a magazine, and didn't try it until I was requested to bring a coffee cake to Easter brunch. Oh my gosh, the cake was amazing! The recipe was great as is, and I think you'll all enjoy it. I know the guests at the brunch did! (Tip: Now that I've made the recipe once, I do think that it could use more filling. Of course, that's just me, but if you have want an extra sweet coffee cake, I would double the filling recipe, then pour only 1/3 of the batter in the pan when you sprinkle the filling on it. Only sprinkle 1/2 the filling on the batter, pour in another 1/3 of the batter, sprinkle the rest of the filling on it, than pour the remaining cake batter on it. I think that will make the cake turn out even better! Just a suggestion... I'll let you know how it turns out after I try it!)
