I love coffee cakes, especially caramel ones, and I’m always looking for new recipes to try.  When I saw this Caramel Pecan Coffee Cake from Fleischmann’s I knew I had to try it.  What first intrigued me was that it uses yeast in the batter.  Normally my coffee cakes don’t use it, but this recipe does so I couldn’t wait to see how it would turn out.  Plus you can actually mix this in the pan that you’re going to bake it in, so that means not a lot of mess to clean up!  It uses every day ingredients found in your pantry and comes together in a matter of minutes.  I changed the one sugar to brown and also added in some vanilla, and it turned out delicious.  This will definitely be in my recipe box to make again.  I hope you’ll give it a try too!

Ingredients are as follows:  

1 3/4 C flour
2 envelopes of rapid-rise (instant) yeast 
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 C very warm water
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla

cinnamon 
sugar

1/3 C corn syrup
1/3 C brown sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 C chopped pecans 

Directions:

Grease a 9 1/2 inch baking dish.


In the same dish, put in the flour, yeast, brown sugar, salt, water, butter, and vanilla.
