Grandma’s Coffee Cake

Sharing is caring!

This weekend we’ve been enjoying my Grandma’s Coffee Cake.  My oldest daughter and I made one on Friday afternoon so we could nibble on it all weekend long.  This easy coffee cake has nutmeg as it’s predominate flavor, which I think pairs perfectly with any hot drink.

I love making my grandma’s recipe and I love getting to get my girls involved in making them.  I love being able to pass along these treasured recipes to them.

This breakfast recipe is super easy to put together too – I’m betting you have all the ingredients on hand right now.

2. Mix together the sugars, flour, nutmeg, oil and salt.
3. Once combined remove 1 cup of this mixture and set aside (topping).
4. In a separate container mix together the buttermilk, egg, baking powder and baking soda.
5. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour/sugar mixture and mix until combined.
6. Pour this mixture into a baking dish. I used an 8"x 10".
7. Sprinkle the 1 cup mixture you had set aside on top for the crumble.

I love how the crumb, streusel topping is part of the recipe base.  Just one more thing that makes this recipe SO EASY.
