Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Fustini’s Espresso balsamic
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Fustini’s Espresso balsamic
Ingredients
Topping
Homemade Whipped Cream
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°,F. Grease and flour a 9 1/2" tube pan or a 9" x 9" pan. Beat together the butter, sugar until almost white in color. Add eggs one at a time then vanilla and balsamic vinegar. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, stirring after each addition.
- Combine all the topping ingredients, stirring until evenly crumbly. Spread half the batter in the pan, and sprinkle with half the topping mixture. Repeat with the remaining batter and topping.
- Bake the coffeecake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs sticking to it. Glass pans may take an additional 5 to 10 minutes to bake through completely. Remove the cake from the oven, if you've baked it in a tube pan, wait 10 minutes, loosen the edges, and carefully turn it out of the pan. Place the cake right-side up (topping up) on a plate to serve. If you've baked the cake in a 9" x 9" pan, just serve it right from the pan. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Wrap the completely cooled cake airtight, and store at room temperature for several days: freeze for longer storage.
- Place metal bowl and metal whisk in freezer for 10-15 minutes (if using electric mixer this step isn&rsquo,t as necessary). Place sugar and vinegar into a mixing bowl, add heavy cream. Whisk until cream reaches stiff peaks.
