Subject: Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar�Pecan Streusel
serves 12 to 16

A 10-inch tube pan (with a 10-cup capacity) is best for this recipe.

Streusel
� cup (3� ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
� cup (5� ounces) granulated sugar
� cup (3� ounces) packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into
2 pieces
1 cup pecans, chopped

Cake
12 tablespoons (1� sticks) unsalted butter, softened but still cool, cut into �-inch cubes, plus 2 tablespoons softened butter for greasing pan
4 large eggs
1� cups sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2� cups (11� ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1� cups (8� ounces) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
� teaspoon baking soda
� teaspoon salt

1. For the streusel: In food processor, process flour, granulated sugar, � cup dark brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined, about 15 seconds. Transfer 1� cups of flour/sugar mixture to small bowl; stir in remaining � cup brown sugar and set aside to use for streusel filling. Add butter and pecans to flour sugar mixture in food processor; pulse until nuts and butter resemble small pebbly pieces, about ten 1-second pulses. Set aside to use as streusel topping.

2. For the cake: Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 10-inch tube pan (with 10-cup capacity) with 2 tablespoons softened butter. Whisk eggs, 1 cup sour cream, and vanilla in medium bowl until combined.

3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in bowl of standing mixer; mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend. Add remaining butter and sour cream; mix on low speed until dry ingredients are moistened and mixture resembles wet sand, with few large butter pieces remaining, about 1� minutes. Increase to medium speed and beat until batter comes together, about 10 seconds; scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula. Lower speed to medium-low and gradually add egg mixture in 3 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until batter is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

4. Using rubber spatula, spread 2 cups batter in bottom of prepared pan, smoothing surface. Sprinkle evenly with � cup streusel filling without butter or nuts. Repeat with another 2 cups batter and remaining � cup streusel filling without butter or nuts. Spread remaining batter over, then sprinkle with streusel topping with butter and nuts.
5. Bake until cake feels firm to touch and long toothpick or skewer inserted into center comes out clean (bits of sugar from streusel may cling to tester), 50 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes. Invert cake onto rimmed baking sheet (cake will be streusel-side down); remove tube pan, place wire rack on top of cake, and reinvert cake streusel-side up. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve. (Cake can be wrapped in foil and stored at room temperature up to 5 days.)
