CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Butter and flour the tube pan (10-inch).
• Make the cake: Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream together using the electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape down the bowl.
• Add the vanilla and eggs, 1 at a time, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
• Scrape down the bowl again.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add this mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the sour cream.
• Beat for 45 seconds after each addition, and begin and end with the flour mixture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
• Make the syrup: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
• Drizzle the syrup over the batter and with the blade of a knife or a skewer, swirl the syrup through the batter.
• Make the streusel: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.
• With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter, a few pieces at a time, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Scatter the streusel over the batter in the pan.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the pan from the oven to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
