Baking with yeast is easier than you think, and especially in this recipe, because there is no kneading and no rise time! It’s basically magic. The yeast adds a flavor and texture that you might not guess, but it adds a little extra magic!
How to Make This Easy Caramel Pecan Coffee Cake:
Like I said, the amazing thing about this recipe is the dough is made with Instant or Rapid Rise Yeast, but requires no kneading and no rise time. Since we are not creating bread for this recipe, but rather a cake, you won’t need to knead which is what gives bread that chewy texture. Once you mix the dough together, you spread it in a deep dish pie plate and top it with cinnamon sugar. In another bowl combine the delicious, sweet, caramel pecan topping! You spread that on top of the cinnamon sugar layer and then you bake it!
This is really one of the best coffee cake recipes ever. Baking with Yeast is easier than you think and really adds flavor and texture that can’t be duplicated.
How To Store:
This cake is SO delicious, especially when served warm. The caramel coated pecans are sweet and chewy and the cake is soft and tender. But if you can’t finish it all or want to make it ahead it’s best stored airtight at room temperature. And yes you can freeze it! Just allow it to thaw out at room temperature, and I recommend cutting a slice and microwaving it for just a few seconds to heat it up!
Do You Have To Use Nuts?
In this recipe, yes. But if you would like to swap out the pecans you can use walnuts!
