- 1/2 cup toasted and coarsely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, sifted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing the pan, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
- 1 (13 by 9-inch) baking pan
Method
- For the topping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the nuts, flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt.
- Stir to blend.
- Stir in the butter.
- The topping should form sandy clumps.
- Sprinkle the topping onto the baking sheet to break it up into smaller clumps.
- Refrigerate.
- For the coffee cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use butter to thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of a 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light yellow and smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Alternatively, this can be done with an electric hand mixer.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until thoroughly integrated.
- Remove the topping from the refrigerator so it has a few minutes to come to room temperature before baking.
- Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and yogurt until smooth.
- Turn the mixer on low and alternate, adding some of the flour mixture with some of the sour cream mixture.
- When all has been mixed, give the sides and the bottom of the bowl a scrape and blend to make sure the batter is thoroughly integrated.
- Transfer the batter to the greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Liberally sprinkle the cake with all of the topping.
- Take care to cover the whole top.
- Put the pan in the center of the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
