Specialty Recipe

Spicy Buttermilk Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

2-1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup corn oil

1 cup chopped nuts

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg, beaten

1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step One: Make the batter and topping mix. Mix together in a large bowl the flour, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, both sugars, and corn oil. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture and add it to the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nuts. Mix nut mixture well and set aside.

Step Two: Complete the batter: To the remaining batter, add baking soda, baking powder, egg, and buttermilk. Mix to combine (small lumps are ok).

Step Three: Bake. Pour batter into a well-greased 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the surface. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Variation: This cake is also good if you want to fold in apple or pear chunks at Step Two. Dice them fairly large and fold into batter.
