Don't you just love stumbling on a fantastic recipe? There was much celebrating the moment I pulled this out of the oven!

I whipped this up yesterday and I must confess...I can't walk by without taking just another taste.

Spicy Buttermilk Coffee Cake

From Cafe Beaujolais by Margaret Fox

2 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup corn oil

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg, beaten

1 cup buttermilk

Step 1: Make the batter and topping mix

Mix together in a large bowl the flower, salt, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, ginger, and both sugars. Give the mix a stir (to evenly distribute.) Add the corn oil and stir again. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture, and to it add walnuts or pecans and an additional 1 teapspoon cinnamon. Mix well & set aside.

Step 2: Complete the batter

To the remaining batter, add baking soda, baking powder, egg, and buttermilk. Mix to combine all ingredients (Note: small lumps in the batter are OK.)

Step 3: 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.

wait until the first time you sprinkle on chocolate chips during the last 5 minutes.

I don't know Marilyn. This might be the one thing that's perfect w/out chocolate!

Normally I'm in favor of a tweak or two...but this is so good...I wouldn't change a thing!

Trust me...there is room in this universe for two perfect things.
