What Shall We Bake Today?

Food 1 Minute

Today’s offering is Pecan Browned Butter Coffee Cake! This cake takes a little bit of prep, but it is oh-so-delicious!!

Ingredients

¾ cup butter

2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted*

2 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoon all-purpose flour

3 cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

1 ½ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ½ cup plain yogurt

Coffee Icing

5 teaspoon milk

1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals

1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue to cook, without stirring, for 5 to 6 minutes or until butter becomes brown and fragrant. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and chill for 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside.

For filling, in a bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the pecans, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and the 2 teaspoons flour. Add 3 tablespoons of the browned butter and work in with fingers or a fork until mixture is crumbly; set aside. In another bowl, stir together the 3 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat remaining browned butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add remaining 1- 1/2 cups brown sugar; beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Stir in vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt to butter mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Stir in the remaining 1-1/4 cups pecans. Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle evenly with filling. Spoon remaining batter over filling, spreading to cover.

Bake about 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Drizzle with Coffee Icing.

Coffee Icing:

In a bowl, stir together 4 teaspoons milk and instant coffee crystals until dissolved. Stir in powdered sugar and enough additional milk (1 to 2 teaspoons) to make a drizzling consistency.

*Toast the pecans before you finely chop them.

          1. yeah I don’t like just 2 seasons…winter/summer.
            I really like fall and spring…
            if they’d stop with the chemtrails, maybe weather would return to normal

  2. “Beer Business Daily reported that Bud Light’s sales outside of restaurants and bars was down 26.1 percent from a year earlier, in the week ended April 22.
    Overall this year, Bud Light sales are down 8 percent as the fallout from the April 1 partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney continues.”

  3. “I never honestly gave this any thought at all beyond always thinking that somehow the food in the commissary was free to the employees and actors. I have no idea where that idea came from, either. A half a broiled lobster (with drawn butter) woulda set you back 55 cents back in 1941.”


    “Ya see, unlike here where we have a new President (sorta) every four or eight years, over there, this shit don’t happen that often, so they make a BIG deal about it. Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli highlight the lineup, which also includes the British pop group Take That, plus U.K. talent Sir Bryn Terfel, Freya Ridings and Alexis French.

    Maybe it’s me, but I’da thought they could put together a roster that was a little stronger on the Brit side, if ya follow my meaning. The highlight of the program will most likely be The Coronation Choir, which unites a diverse group of singers from the Portishead RNLI sea shanty choir, farmers, cab drivers and reggae groups across the U.K., will also give a special performance with The Virtual Choir, comprised of singers from across the Commonwealth.

    Holy fuck – are they kidding with this? I wanna see what’s on King Charlie’s IPod….”

    America First Legal filed a federal class action against key persons and entities involved in the so-called “Election Integrity Partnership” and the “Virality Project”

    The lawsuit alleges that these parties conspired with the federal government to conduct a mass surveillance and censorship operation targeting the political speech of millions of Americans on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

      2. Double K, the other food hang-out when we were teens in Norfolk, had a drive-in but people always went to A&W for that – it was just known and acknowledged by everyone by osmosis! LOL – Double K was the place to go after a sports event, after a movie with a date, or for family gatherings.

        We need Matt Gaetz – he is maturing rapidly – growing into more of a statesman every time he speaks.

  34. I am adding a short daily prayer to the board. I would invite each of you, if you wish, to also add one or maybe two of your own liking. I do not want to stifle anyone but please limit yourself to one or two religious postings. here’s one I found that I liked.

  41. “A factory in Holland prints 500 tons of steaks per month on a 3D printer. The company Redefine Meat is in the race for deli meat substitutes. They supply German restaurants with printed fillets. About 110 German restaurants are already buying “meat” from Redefine Meat.”

    In tiny tiny fine print at the very bottom of the page: * Redefine Meat Ltd. products are plant-based, made with non-GMO ingredients and do not contain any animal-based ingredients or by-products…

    JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS EDIBLE DOES NOT MAKE IT FOOD! THIS LOOKS LIKE AND PROBABLY TASTE LIKE POISON! Let’s stop pushing vegetarian and vegan diets… Meat is crucial for human health…”

  48. “Fox says documentary about Canadian ‘tyranny’ won’t air after Tucker Carlson’s exit”
    OTTAWA
    THE CANADIAN PRESS
    PUBLISHED YESTERDAY

    ENTIRE ARTICLE @ theglobeandmail.com: “Does Tucker Carlson really think the United States should invade its northern neighbour to free it from the tyranny of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government? A Fox News documentary focused on that question was set to be released today, but Canadians may not get a chance to find out the answer.

    The trailer for the program featured People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier and prominent members of the “Freedom Convoy” movement talking about the country’s COVID-19 restrictions. But Carlson’s abrupt departure from Fox News last week derailed its release plans. A spokesperson for Fox says the documentary will not air – and a former U.S. ambassador to Canada says that’s a good thing.

    Bruce Heyman says Carlson’s presence in the media landscape was dangerous for American democracy.”
