Betty demonstrates how to make a gorgeous Sour Cream Coffee Cake. It is filled and topped with a luscious mixture of brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon. It's just the best!!!
Brown Sugar-Pecan Filled Sour Cream Coffee Cake
2 sticks butter or margarine (1/2 pound), softened to room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz. carton sour cream
2 cups self-rising flour
½ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
½ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together ½ pound butter or margarine and 2 cups sugar. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs, and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 8 oz. sour cream. Stir well. Add in the butter and sugar mixture, and stir until well-combined. Now, mix in 2 cups self-rising flour. Set aside, while you make your filling/topping. In a small bowl, stir together ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon half of the cake batter into a well-greased and floured tube pan. Spread out evenly, and sprinkle ½ of the brown sugar-pecan filling over the top. Spoon the other half of the cake batter over the first half of batter and filling, smooth out, and top with the remainder of the brown sugar-pecan filling/topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool in the oven with the oven door open for 1 hour. Remove pan from the oven, and transfer the coffee cake from the pan to a nice cake plate (top side up). This is not only a beautiful coffee cake, but its taste is splendid!

Why this Betty's Brown Sugar-Pecan Filled Sour Cream Coffee Cake works for PCOS
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
