I have recently discovered the exotic beauty & taste of browned butter! I could go on & on about how I am gonna be browning butter to extract all those nutty aromatic flavor for all of my cooking, not just limited to baking.

Browned Butter Coffee Cake

• 1 cup of butter
• 2 cups of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of pecans
• 3 cups of flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of  vanilla
• 1-1/2 cups of yogurt
• Browned Butter Icing

Directions:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat until it is brown & fragrant. Cool
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small bowl and set aside.
• In another small bowl add pecans, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the browned butter. Mix together until crumbly; set aside
• Comine the dry ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside
• In a large bowl mix together the remaining butter and brown sugar until fluffy; adding eggs one @ a time.
• Stir in vanillla. Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt to butter mixture.
• Pour half of the batter in a greased tube pan, sprinkle filling and then pour the reamining batter on top.
• Bake in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees for an hour or until done.

 

Browned Butter Icing:

Mix the 2 tablespoons of reserved browned butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cooled coffee in a small bowl and stir until smooth enough to drizzle.

It’s delicious served warm.  I know your family & friends will love it as much as mine did! 😀 Enjoy
