SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or Bundt pan.
• Use an electric mixer to cream the granulated sugar and butter together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating each addition of flour with the addition of half the sour cream. Stir in the vanilla.
• For the streusel: In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half the streusel mixture. Pour another third of the batter into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining streusel mixture. Scrape the remaining batter into the pan and make smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
• For the glaze: When the cake is completely cooked, stir the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter.
• Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg and mix until combined. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately and mix until totally incorporated. Do not over-beat. Stir in the blueberries until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and cut together using 2 knives or a pastry cutter. Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
• Bake until the cake is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into squares and serve with softened butter.

PIONEER WOMAN'S COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two round baking pans.
• In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Melt 2 sticks of butter in a pot over medium-low heat. While that's melting, add 3 tablespoons instant coffee to 1 cup boiling water. Set aside.
• Once butter has melted, add coffee mixture to the butter in the pot. Let it come to a boil for about ten seconds, then turn off the heat. Set aside for just a minute.
• In a separate bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
• Pour the butter/coffee mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the mixture together gently. The purpose here isn't to mix it together perfectly, but to cool down the heat before adding the egg mixture.
• Add in the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined. Then pour into pans. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until set.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Combine all icing ingredients, then ice the cake. Chill for an hour before serving.
