Confederate Coffee Cake
List of Ingredients
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1/2 c milk
3 eggs
1 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
cinnamon (about 1/2 tsp, as desired)
nutmeg (about 1 tsp, divided, as desired)
chopped nuts - almonds, pecans or walnuts, optional
1 tbsp butter, thinly sliced
1 tbsp sugar (I did not add)
Recipe
Preheat to 350.
Cream together the 1/2 c butter and 1 c sugar
Add milk and unbeaten eggs, mixing well.
Sift the flour and baking powder together - must sift for the right texture. Blend sifted ingredients into the creamed mixture. Add a dash of nutmeg.
Pour into a 9 x 5 bread pan.
Sprinkle the top with nutmeg, cinnamon, nuts and sugar. Dot with butter.
Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes.
NOTES:
I did not add sugar to the top, it was sweet enough without it.
I would suggest pouring half the batter, doing half the spices, then repeat. I sliced the tbsp of butter with a vegetable peeler to make very thin pieces for the top.
