This recipe was submitted to the site over 10 years ago by a guy named "baseball27". It's received a handful of rave review since then, so I decided to try it myself (June 2013). It turned out moist and tasty. It's a sort of working man's coffee cake - no fancy flavors, just a great standard coffee cake that comes to life when you actually eat it with coffee. One important note: It took about 15 minutes longer to cook than the directions state. I baked it for 35 minutes, covered it loosely with foil (so the top wouldn't scorch or dry out) and baked it another 12 minutes. Overall: really good.

Overnight Coffee Cake Recipe


How To Make An Overnight Coffee Cake

Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust it lightly with flour. In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the butter, milk, and eggs. Beat until well combined; pour into the baking dish, then cover and chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon with the pecans. Sprinkle over the chilled batter and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut, and serve warm.


Overnight Coffee Cake



Prepare the batter the night before for a delectable, fresh, and warm coffee cake for breakfast. This is perfect for a sweet wake-up call to overnight guests or anytime you want to treat yourself after sleeping in!

Mr Breakfast would like to thank baseball27 for this recipe.

I agree with all the other reviews, it was very moist and delicious. I did make a substitution but only because I didn't have enough brown sugar on hand. For the 1/2 cup Brown sugar that is mixed in to the batter, I substituted 1/4 cup Granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup Dark Karo syrup. It still turned out fantastic! I will make this again following the directions as given.

Better than the bakery! Or at least better than the coffee cakes at Meyers. Moe moist. The only change I made was adding 2 teaspoons of grated orange peel to the batter. Delicious!

It was so delicious, my husband and I ate it all in one day! Don't try it if you are on a diet and do not have A LOT of self-control :).
