Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup canola oil
1 cup walnuts (chopped)
1 cup buttermilk (or substitute 1 cup milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Cuisine

Spanish

Steps

Preheat oven to 350° F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Lightly grease a 9"x13" baking pan (or your desired baking pan, see notes below) and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated white sugar, and cinnamon. Add oil.
Take 3/4 cup of the flour mixture and add chopped nuts; this is the streusel topping. Set aside.
Stir in baking powder and baking soda to the flour mixture without nuts. Mix in buttermilk and egg until just well incorporated. Pour batter into baking pan and sprinkle with streusel topping.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
