Delicious Banana and Pecan Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup of superfine sugar
• ½ cup of melted butter
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• ¼ cup of tangy sour cream
• 1 cup of mashed ripe banana
• 1 ½ cups of soft cake flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of fragrant vanilla extract
• For the topping:
• 1 cup of finely chopped pecans
• 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, adjust to your liking
• 1 teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare a 9-inch square baking dish by greasing and flouring it.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, blend together superfine sugar and butter using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth. Gradually add eggs one by one, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. In a separate bowl, combine baking soda with sour cream, then gently fold this mixture into the butter blend.

Step 3

Integrate mashed bananas into the buttery mixture, followed by incorporating cake flour and baking powder until thoroughly mixed. Enhance the batter with a touch of vanilla extract before transferring it into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

For an added layer of flavor and texture, combine pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then sprinkle this mixture over the cake batter.

Step 5

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, indicating that the cake is fully cooked.
