Cowboy Cake

My kids really like this and they eat it up!! Be sure to have lots of milk on hand though because it is very cakey and a big glass of milk goes perfectly.


2 1/2 cups Flour

1/2 tsp Salt

2 cups Brown Sugar

2/3 cups Shortening

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1 cup Sour Milk or Buttermilk

2 well beaten eggs



Combine flour, salt, sugar and shortening. Mix until crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cup to sprinkle on the top. Mix remaining ingredients and pour into a cake pan, 9x13 baking pan or 2 8x8 pans. Sprinkle reserved topping (can add nuts if you'd like) Bake at 350 for 30-35 min.
