I remember this being my favorite coffee cake growing up and it is STILL my favorite. It came from mom's old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. My newer BH&G cookbook doesn't have it, so luckily I copied it down a long time ago. I thought my sisters would like a copy. Every once in awhile I get a craving for it. Today is one of those days!
Cowboy Coffee Cake
2 1/2 C sifted flour
2 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 C shortening
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 C. sour milk
2 beaten eggs
Mix flour, sugar, salt, and shortening until crumbly; reserve 1/2 cup. To remaining crumbs, add baking powder, soda, and spices; mix well. Add milk and eggs; mix well. Pour into 2 greased and floured 8 inch round pans; top with reserved crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. Serve warm.

I am so glad you posted this recipe! It does bring me back to when I was growing up in Kansas. It is the best!
Wow! I haven't had this in forever! Definitely a favorite. We used to eat this so often didn't we? Mmmm...Have you ever made it with butter instead of shortening? Just wondering. I never have any shortening. I'll bet it would work. Thanks for posting this!
