Overnight Coffee Cake

We had house guests this week and it was so nice to have this coffee cake ready to pull out of the refrigerator and bake in the morning!

Overnight Coffee Cake Recipe

adapted from Allrecipes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream

Topping

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt, add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour into a greased 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; sprinkle over coffee cake. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Combine powdered  sugar, vanilla and milk. Drizzle over warm coffee cake.

Enjoy!
