Streusel-topped, light on molasses and heavy on spice, has a moist, almost coffeecake like texture and a delicate crumb. The streusel melts into the cake and provides a yummy appearance. Be sure to coat the bottom of your pan with cooking spray. This recipe came from Relish magazine. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces |
1/4 cup vegetable shortening |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons molasses |
1 cup buttermilk |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F Coat bottom only of a 9-inch square pan or 9-inch tube pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine flour, sugar,ginger,cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter and shortening to make a crumbly mixture. Scoop out 1/4 cup and set aside.
3. Add egg and molasses to flour mixture and stir. Combine buttermilk, baking soda and salt. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir well (there will still be a few lumps). Pour into prepared pan; sprinkle reserved flour mixture evenly over top.
4. Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
