Description

This is the most addictive cake I have ever eaten. My husband and I can polish off the entire cake in one day (or two, if we can hide it from the kids).

It is good with coffee, chai, tea, milk, you name it. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and dessert. Or all of the above.

Try it. I dare you to only eat 1 piece.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oil
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2-½ cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Preparation

Combine the oil, sugars, flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Set aside 3/4 cup of the mixture for a streusel topping.

To the remaining mixture, add the buttermilk, egg, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix.

Pour batter into a greased 9×13 pan.

Crumble the reserved streusel mixture on top. (Note: If the streusel topping is clumpy instead of crumbly, add flour and granulated sugar, alternately, until the desired texture is reached. I usually add 2 tablespoons each of flour and sugar.)

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the glaze on top.

Tip: if you do not have buttermilk, use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and enough milk to equal 1 cup. Set aside for 5 minutes, then use.
