Walton'S Mountain Coffee Cake
A sweet and nutty coffee cake featuring pecans, white roll dough, and butterscotch pudding, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings with a delightful, moist texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Generously grease a 10-inch, fluted tube pan.
- Sprinkle pecan halves in the bottom of the pan.
- Arrange frozen dough balls on top of the pecans.
- Sprinkle the instant butterscotch pudding mix over the dough balls.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nuttier flavor, toast the pecan halves before adding them to the pan. If you can't find butterscotch pudding mix, vanilla pudding is a good substitute. Ensure the dough balls are evenly spaced for even baking. Allow the cake to cool slightly before inverting it onto a plate to prevent it from breaking apart. This cake is a delightful addition to brunch or dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this coffee cake warm, drizzled with a simple glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch. It pairs beautifully with Citrus Slices for a refreshing contrast. Consider serving it alongside a rich cup of coffee or tea for a cozy brunch option. This cake also makes a great dessert option when entertaining guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh dough instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh dough, but be sure to let it rise according to package instructions before assembling the cake. Fresh dough will result in a lighter texture but may require more time to bake compared to frozen.
What if I don't have a fluted tube pan?
If you don't have a fluted tube pan, you can use a regular bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time, as a wider dish may require less time to bake through.
Is there a way to make this recipe more decadent?
Absolutely! For a richer flavor, try adding chocolate chips or drizzling a chocolate ganache over the top once the cake has cooled. You could also serve this cake with whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
