This Pecan Coffee Cake is a PCOS-friendly recipe.
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup pecan pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the streusel: Pulse together the sugar, flour, pecans, butter, cinnamon and salt in a food processor until a nubby dough starts to form. Transfer to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and break apart into chickpea-size pieces. Chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
- For the coffee cake: Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture is smooth and fluffy (this can also be done with a hand mixer). Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula after each addition.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream.
- Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour half the batter into the pan and spread it out using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the streusel on top of the batter (it will seem like a lot of streusel, but that's normal). Cover the streusel with the remaining batter. Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before unmolding.
- Whisk together the confectioners sugar and milk until glossy and slightly thick (it should easily drop from the whisk). If the icing is too thick add a few more drops of milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- With the tip of a small whisk or spoon generously drizzle the cooled cake with the icing. Before the icing sets, sprinkle the cake with the pecans.
