Good Good Coffee Cake

We were having a bake sale at work to raise money for a charity. This is what I brought. Several people said this was great... even a few days later people were still telling me this was great. Secretly, a pretty easy recipe.

Beaujolais Buttermilk Coffee Cake

2 cups flour, plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk

Combine flour, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, sugar (both brown and white), and oil. Mix with an electric beater until well blended.

Take out 3/4 cup of the mixture for the topping. To this mixture, add the nuts and an additional 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and mix well. Set aside.

To the remaining mixture add the soda, baking powder, egg and buttermilk. Mix until smooth. Pour into a 13x9 greased baking dish. Sprinkle on the topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
