This is a very good and moist cake recipe I received from my grandmother years ago. It makes a nice addition to any dinner table.
1 cup packed brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 3/4 cup apple butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup whole bran cereal or wheat germ 1 cup sour cream 2 eggs, beaten
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray or grease one 9x13 inch pan.
2 Prepare the topping by mixing together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and chopped pecans.
3 Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4 Blend together butter and sugar; add eggs and beat well. Add apple butter, vanilla, wheat germ or bran cereal. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with sour cream; mix well after each addition.
5 Pour 1/2 batter into pan, sprinkle 1/2 the topping over top. Pour remaining batter and top with remaining topping.
6 Bake for 40 minutes.
