LAUSD Coffee Cake Recipe

The original 1954 LAUSD coffee cake recipe
(apparently SoCal Public School kids go crazy for this?)

• Bakers’ flour - 2 ½ cups
• Brown sugar, packed - 1 cup
• Granulated sugar - ½ cup + 1 tbsp
• Salt - 1 tsp.
• Nutmeg - 1 tsp.
• Salad oil - ¾ cup
• Cinnamon - 1 tsp.
• Baking soda - 1 tsp.
• Baking powder - 1 tsp.
• Egg - 1 (large size)
• Buttermilk - 1 cup

Combine the first six ingredients. Mix until crumbly. Reserve ½ cup of the above for topping. 

Add the cinnamon. 

Combine the last four ingredients and add to the first mixture. Blend together, but do not over-mix. 

Put in a greased 9” x 13” cake pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumb topping over the top of the batter. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
