Let me tell you when this loaf is baking in the oven, the aromas that fill your kitchen are simply mouth-watering. My daughter came wandering into the kitchen as this was baking asking what smelled so good. She could not wait for it to cool before having a slice. Caramel Pecan sweet bread recipe

I admit I could barely wait for this pecan and caramel bread to cool before I had a slice too. It's delicious to have while enjoying your cup of coffee or tea. My only regret was that I did not double the recipe the first time. I did not make that mistake the next time I baked it ha ha

Don't forget to PIN this recipe for later!caramel pecan loaf

The coffee gives it another subtle flavor that complements the caramel and pecans and almost gives it bit more of a caramel bit in my opinion, which I love this flavor. caramel pecan coffee cake

  1. Everyone loved this sweet bread. Added a bit of cinnamon to the dry ingredients and vanilla to the wet ingredients. Baked it just as the directions indicated. It came out perfect!!

  2. I thought I would make this before actually posting a review (what a novel idea) - anyway, here is what happened. I followed the recipe directly and did not make any changes. The bread was not done after 25 minutes, nor after the additional 15 minutes. I had to turn the oven up to 400 and bake it yet another 20 minutes before it was done - at that point, the top was beginning to brown a little too much. The caramel sauce had flowed over the sides of my bread and had congealed in bottom of the pan, making the bread stick. I spooned out what remained in the pan and spread it on top of the bread with the pecans. The flavor of the bread itself was okay, but a little flat one-dimensional - some cinnamon or nutmeg might have helped - maybe. Its only saving grace was the caramel topping, which probably should be added halfway through baking instead of the very beginning. Overall, this was a big disappointment and so not worth the time or ingredients.

    • Hi Stephanie,

      I'm so sorry to hear this didn't work for you. Unfortunately, a variety of variables can affect a recipe including how different ovens heat, some are hotter than others, some hotter on one side, age of ingredients like baking powder, even elevation as higher altitudes can affect a recipe, yes seriously. I've made this a few times and have not had any of your same issues. Again sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
