Nika's Old-Fashioned Coffee Cake

This coffee cake is a perfect hostess gift or dessert shared over a cup of coffee/tea and wonderful conversation. It freezes wonderfully and everyone will wonder how you got that amazing flavor (It’s a little love and a healthy dose of our amazing oils of course!)

Ingredients:

• 4 c. all-purpose flour

• 2 c. packed brown sugar

• 1 c. granulated sugar

• 1 1/2 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. nutmeg

• 2 tsp. cinnamon (I used The Spice & Tea Exchange Bakers Spice)

• 1 c. Butter Infused Olive Oil

• 1/4 c. Lemon Fused Olive Oil

• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 3 large eggs

• 1 1/2 c. buttermilk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl combine flour, sugars, salt & nutmeg and whisk until no lumps remain.

2. Stir in oils with a wooden/silicon spoon until well combined and crumbly. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of crumbled mixture for topping.

3. Add remaining ingredients to large bowl and combine until smooth .

4. Spread into a greased 13” x 9” pan and top with the remaining 1 1/2 cup of crumbled mixture.

5. Bake 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Note: You can substitute any of our single estate or infused olive oils in this recipe to play with flavor. Try whisking 1-2 tbsp. of your favorite Nika’s Olive flavored balsamic with the oil before adding to recipe. Blueberry, cinnamon-pear, and red apple balsamic are personal favorites.
