Directions

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes; beat in eggs, 1 at a time. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; beat into creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.

Mix brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; sprinkle over top. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°. Remove coffee cake from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Mix icing ingredients; drizzle over warm coffee cake.
