Specialty Recipe

Cowboy Coffee Cake

This is an "old favorite." Our mother started making this in the 1940's.

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups flour

2 cups brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup shortening

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup sour milk

2 well-beaten eggs

Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and shortening; mix until crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cup of crumbly mixture to sprinkle over top of cake. To remaining crumbs, add baking powder, baking soda, and spices; mix well. Add milk and eggs and stir until smooth.

Place in 2 greased pie pans or 8-inch layer cake pans and sprinkle with reserved crumbs. An additional 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped nuts may be sprinkled over the crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
