Description

A very moist, very good cake that’s a cinch to make. You don’t even need a mixer! My tip is to make sure you use freshly grated nutmeg for the most flavor.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cups Light Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 3-¼ cups Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1 cup Butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ⅔ cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk, Or More As Needed

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Add the flour and nutmeg, whisking until well blended.

Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two butter knives until crumbly. Remove and reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture. Stir into the remaining crumb mixture the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, the vanilla, and the buttermilk together until well combined. Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until just moistened.

Spread batter gently into a greased and floured 9″x13″x2″ cake pan. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture evenly over the batter, pressing lightly into the batter. Bake in a 350-degree preheated oven for 35-38 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth. If too thick, add just a few more drops of milk. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

I just made this gluten free with teff flour and white rice flour, about 1/2 and 1/2. I think it probably could have used an extra egg with those, but it was still good. The kids loved it. I thought it was good too. Very crumbly.
