Number Of Ingredients 10

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

  • (I use the 13x9 pan).
  • In mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Toss together.
  • Then add the shortening.
  • Using a fork or pastry blender, work shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture is in fine crumbs.
  • Scoop out 1/2 cup of the crumbs and set aside.
  • This will be used as topping later.
  • To the rest of the crumbs, add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the buttermilk and eggs.
  • Stir until blended.
  • The batter should not be smooth.
  • Spread the batter in prepared pan (s).
  • Sprinkle batter with reserved crumbs.
  • Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
  • Serve warm from the pan.
  • **Forthe buttermilk, I often use what milk I have on hand, with 1 TBSP vinegar added per cup of milk.
