P. Marilyn Cline Long's Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts
Mix together 1/2 cup shortening and 1 cup of sugar. Add 2 eggs
and mix. Then add the following and mix: 2 cups flour, 1
teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon
salt. Then add 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk (can be replaced
with 1 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon cider vinegar) and 1 teaspoon
vanilla. Mix it all together and you have "the batter".
The following ingredients, when put together, constitute "the
topping": 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 1
teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.
Now, grease a 9x13 pan and place 1/3 of "the batter" in the base
of the pan. Then sprinkle 1/2 of "the topping" on top of "the
batter". Now put most of the rest of "the batter" in, followed
by the remaining "topping". Finally put the last little bit of
"batter" on the very top. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes,
and within 35 minutes your mouth will be watering from the
wonderful smells coming from the kitchen.
