Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅔ cup butter, room temp
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
Topping Ingredients
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. Place the butter and both sugars in a separate mixing bowl and beat to combine. Add the eggs and beat well.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to combine. Slowly add the buttermilk while beating, and then add the remaining dry ingredients. Spread the mixture in a well-greased 9x13-inch pan.
- Combine the brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the topping in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of batter in the cake pan, taking care not to pile too much in the center.
- Cover the pan with a lid or with foil and refrigerate overnight. Bake in a pre-heated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
Notes
