My mom often prepared this yummy cinnamon and nutmeg spiced treat while I was growing up, reports Lauren Heyn of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. I have yet to taste a better coffee cake.
Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup cold butter, cubed
4 teaspoons baking cocoa
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 cups buttermilk
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1-1/4 cups for topping. To the remaining mixture, add cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and cloves; mix well. Stir in raisins and nuts. Make a well in the center; pour in buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
2. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 12-16 servings.
