Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake Delight

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup pecan pieces
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) in preparation for baking.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with oil or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla flavoring until well combined. The mixture should appear smooth and slightly thick.

4. Incorporate the Sour Cream
Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and blend thoroughly. This will help keep the cake moist and tender.

5. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.

6. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, carefully folding them together with a spatula. Mix until just combined, being cautious not to overmix, as this can result in a denser cake.

7. Add Pecans and Cinnamon
Gently fold in the pecan pieces and ground cinnamon until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The pecans will provide a delightful crunch in each bite.

8. Pour and Spread the Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

9. Bake the Cake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool Before Serving
Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This rest period helps the cake to set and enhances the flavors.
