shared by Jennifer H.


Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:
1.     Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.  Beat butter and white sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
2.     Beat eggs and sour cream into butter mixture until smooth.
3.     Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined; stir into the sour cream mixture to make a batter.  (Batter is very thick).
4.     Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
5.     Mix the brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle half the mixture over the batter.  Repeat layers.  Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill 8 hours to overnight. 
Preheat oven to 350.  Remove plastic wrap from the dish; bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the coffee cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
