This coffee cake is such a treat! It is THE BEST I have ever had. And like usual the best always comes from Grandma’s kitchen.
Start by mixing a teaspoon of baking powder into the buttermilk and set aside.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, sugar and 2 tsps baking powder.
Add the shortening and work in with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.
Pour the buttermilk into the dry mixture and stir until mixed.
Remove about 3/4 cups of the dough and set aside. Then press the remaining dough into the prepared baking dish.
Mix the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Mix in the 3/4 cup of dough into the butter mixture.
Pour over the top and use a metal spoon to randomly press the cinnamon mixture into the dough.
Pop into the oven and bake until golden.
ENJOY!!!
