Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake


This has got to be the moistest coffee cake ever.  
Truth be told.....I was craving pecan pie.  I wondered how it would 
work as a cake with the pecan pie filling marbled into it.  I also was looking
for deeper flavors.  That was when I grabbed the Cinnamon Pecan Flavored
Coffee I had in the cabinet, and made a pot.  No, not for drinking...to add into my
recipe.  I took one whiff of the almond extract and thats when I 
knew I had the perfect combination.  This coffee cake is so amazing!  
The aroma will linger for hours in your home.

5 TBS butter
1 cup brown sugar
