Ingredients

  

For the Crumble:

• 2/3 cup yellow cake mix
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup pecans chopped
• 1/2 stick melted butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp espresso powder

For the Batter:

• Remaining yellow cake mix
• 1.5 cups cups sour cream
• 3 eggs

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 baking dish by greasing it lightly.
• Prepare the Crumble Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 2/3 cup yellow cake mix, 1 cup brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp espresso powder. Mix these ingredients together until they form a delightful crumble. Set the bowl aside.
• Prepare the Batter: In another bowl, combine the remaining yellow cake mix, 1 & 1/2 cups sour cream, and 3 eggs. Mix these ingredients vigorously until you achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
• Layer the Goodness: Spray or grease the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking. Begin by layering the components in the following order:
• Batter
• Crumble
• Batter
• Crumble
• Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes. The coffee cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
• Let it Rest: Once baked, remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to settle and the cake to set.
• Serve and Enjoy: Cut the coffee cake into slices and serve it warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee or your favorite beverage.

Notes

• If you’re a fan of nuts, you can enhance the nutty flavor by adding a handful of chopped nuts to the batter itself.

• For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled coffee cake.

• Top it with espresso whipped cream: Just blend together with an electric mixer:

• Whipped Espresso Cream:

• • 2 cups of cold heavy cream

• • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar ( little more if you like it sweet)

• • 1 tsp of vanilla extract

• • 1/2 tsp. espresso powder
