Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, shortening, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and eggs. Using a hand or stand mixer, blend the ingredients on low speed until well-combined and smooth.
-
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. This will be your delicious topping!
-
Layer Batter and Topping: Pour half of the prepared cake batter into the greased pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture over the batter. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and topping, creating two delicious layers of goodness.
-
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the batter to develop a delightful texture.
-
Preheat Oven: The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s nice and toasty for baking.
-
Bake: Uncover the coffee cake and place it in the preheated oven. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the coffee cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm with a steaming cup of coffee or your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat any time of day!
