Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake

Coffee Cake is one of those dishes that is perfect for any occasion. It can be enjoyed in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea, as a snack, taken to a potluck, or even served as a dessert. This Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake is sure to make your day special! It’s super easy and actually has coffee right in the cake.

I’ve made Coffee Cake lots of times in the past, but I have never actually put coffee in the cake. You see, I’m more of a tea drinker myself, so it never really occurred to me to add coffee. And even though there is coffee in this Coffee Cake, it really doesn’t taste like coffee. Doug on the other hand is a coffee lover, and he was anxious to give this Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake a try.

The verdict…two thumbs up from him and the boys!

The cake is moist and has a rich flavor. And the addition of cinnamon and pecans is perfect.

This Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake starts with a cake mix, making it super easy and quick to toss together. Just like a regular cake mix, you will need eggs and oil, instead of the liquid in the cake mix, you simply add coffee. Top it off with a combination of brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans.
