COWBOY COFFEE CAKE WITH CARAMEL ICINGThis recipe came from Steve Lewis grandmother, which makes it even more special for me. Steve is CEO of First Place Bank, and a wellrounded individual across many fronts. I am glad he shares my love for food and keeps true to his culinary roots. Cake: 2 ½ c. sifted flour ½ tsp. salt 2 cups brown sugar ⅔ cup butter 2 tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. cinnamon ½ tsp. nutmeg 1 cup buttermilk 2 beaten eggs Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased 13X9X2 pan. Top with crumbs. Bake at 350F 25 30 minutes. Crumbs: 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1 tsp. cinnamon ½ cup melted butter Mix together to form crumbs. Caramel icing: (enough for 1 8X8 pan; double for 9X13 pan) 9 tbsp. ( 1 cup) brown sugar 9 tbsp. half and half cream 3 tbsp. butter Powdered sugar Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Let cool and thicken with powdered sugar as needed. Thank you, Steve, and your grandmother, for this wonderful recipe!!! |
