BUTTERMILK COFFEE CAKE

A boring Saturday morning.  I had some buttermilk that needed using up so went in search for a buttermilk coffee cake recipe.  Lots to choose from and this is how I made it.

BUTTERMILK COFFEE CAKE

2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 sticks of butter, melted
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9 inch springform pan and set aside.  In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar.  Pour melted butter over and stir to combine.  Remove 2/3 cup of mixture and set aside.  To the remaining dry ingredients add the baking powder, eggs and buttermilk.  Mix with hand mixer until smooth.  Pour into prepared pan.  Sprinkle the dry mixture that you set aside and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over.  Place in oven and bake for 45-55 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool.

Stir together the glaze ingredients and swirl over cooled cake.
