Nutella Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 c. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 c. sour cream
    • For filling and topping
  • 1 c. chopped pecans
  • 2 TBLSP granulated sugar
  • 2 TBLSP brown sugar
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • 1 c. Nutella (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture and sour cream alternatively to the butter mixture in three additions and mix after each addition just until blended.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the pecans, two types of sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Add about half of batter to the bottom of the prepared pan spreading to form an even layer. Sprinkle about half the cinnamon, nut mixture on top.
  7. Put 1/2 cup of Nutella in a microwavable bowl and heat it up for twenty seconds. Drizzle it over the pecan, cinnamon mixture.
  8. Spread the remaining batter on top, spreading evenly.
  9. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, then open the oven and sprinkle the remaining pecan, cinnamon mixture over the top using a large spoon to push it down slightly. (Alternatively, you could sprinkle this on at the beginning of the baking process before you put it into the oven but then you have to be careful not to burn the pecans. Try covering with foil the last 10 minutes of baking so the pecans don't burn)
  10. Close the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven to cool for about 15 minutes.
  11. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of Nutella in a microwavable bowl and heat for 20 seconds. Place the softened Nutella in a ziplock bag, cutting a hole in the corner and drizzle over the top of the cake. Or you could drizzle it with a spoon.
  12. Serve warm or cooled.

  9. I love starting my day off with coffee cake and muffins when I’m tired of oatmeal, which has been lately! This coffee cake looks amazing, Renee! I’m a huge fan of Nutella, so that drizzle and filling is calling my name. Pinning!

  15. this cake was soft, moist and delicious! the only thing i would suggest is to bake it for a few minutes less in order to prevent the pecans from burning (or just put foil on top for the last few minutes). i would definitely make it again!

    • Glad you enjoyed it Valerie! Interesting about the pecans. You know what, when I made it myself, I actually forgot to put the pecan, cinnamon mixture on top of the cake before I baked it and didn’t actually remember until about halfway through the baking process so I added it with only about 10 minutes to go and my pecans turned out perfect. Maybe I’ll edit the recipe to suggest that. Never even considered the pecans burning! Thanks for the advice!! 🙂

      • I think either adding them later on as you mentioned, or covering the pan with foil just a few minutes before it’s done would help. The inside part of the cake came out perfect (and delicious!), it was just the pecans that came out a tiny bit overdone.
