How to Make Pecan Pie Cheesecake Coffee Cake

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a springform pan.

2. Prepare the Coffee Cake Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the coffee cake batter, spreading it evenly.

4. Prepare the Pecan Pie Topping:

• In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.

5. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.

6. Cool:

• Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.

7. Serve:

• Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
