Steps:

• In a small bowl combine pecans, brown sugar and Kahlua.
• Let sit until needed.
• In a large bowl,and I do mean large, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil and sour cream, and mix on low speed until moistened.
• Add the eggs, one at a time and mix well after each.
• Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed, the mixture will be very thick, don't panic.
• Slowly mix in the pecan mixture, until well mixed.
• Pour into very well greased muffin cups, see note below.
• Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Pop out of pan and cool on rack, if you can wait that long to eat one.
• NOTE: Make sure you use well greased muffin tins, if you're using non-stick pans.
• I spray mine with Baker's Ease and am sure to run my finger all around the inside and rim.
• I find the darker the pan, the better the muffin.
• If they stick, you did not grease enough.
• Just run a spatuala around the edge to release.
• I noted these make 18 regular size muffins.
• These do not rise a lot so you can fill 2/3 way full without spill over.
• When I make, I make 12 regular muffins and 6 mini-bundt size, or I might make 48 mini muffins and 6 regular muffins.

COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS WITH KAHLUA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with liners.
• For the crumb topping combine the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and cake flour. Mix together until crumbly topping forms. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a countertop mixer with the paddle attachment, sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined. Add the softened butter and sour cream; mix until combined. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until liquid is absorbed. Batter may look lumpy.
• Fill the muffin cups about 1/2 full with batter. (Note: Do not add crumb topping yet.)
• Bake the muffins until the muffins are set but not quite fully baked, 23 to 25 minutes. Add a generous amount of crumb topping to the top of each muffin. Gently press the topping into the muffins. Continue baking until muffins are done, 8 to 10 more minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin should come out almost clean once the muffins are done. Remove from oven and set on rack to cool slightly.
• While the muffins are cooling, make the Kahlua Glaze. Combine the powdered sugar and Kahlua in a small bowl. Stir together until a thick glaze forms.
• Drizzle the tops of the cooled muffins with the Kahlua Glaze.
