Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x12-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Make the pecan streusel: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chopped pecans, softened butter, and flour. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare the oat mixture: In a medium bowl, pour the boiling water over the rolled oats. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the light brown sugar and softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Incorporate wet ingredients: Add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed mixture, beating briefly after each addition. Scrape down the bowl and continue beating until smooth. Mix in the soaked oats, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Combine wet and dry: Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients with a rubber scraper or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Assemble and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the pecan streusel over the top. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (35 minutes)

10

Step

Cool slightly before serving: Let the coffee cake cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving. (15 minutes)

For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding them to the streusel.
If you don't have light brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar with a tablespoon of molasses mixed in.
The coffee cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    My streusel sunk into the cake a bit, but it still tasted great! Next time, I'll try chilling it first.
