Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • ¾ butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 cups flour sifted
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cup milk
  • 3 whole egg whites beaten til stiff

For the Topping::

  • ¾ butter softened
  • ¾ cups flour
  • 1-1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 cup chopped nuts I used a half cup each of pecan, walnuts and almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt
  • Beat egg whites and set aside
  • In same mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar
  • Add flour mixture and milk alternately until combined; don’t overbeat
  • Fold in beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula until just incorporated
  • Spread in a well-greased 9 x 13 (larger would be fine but I don’t recommend you go with anything smaller) baking pan
  • In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle all over the top
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes til a toothpick inserted comes out clean and nicely brown on top. Mine seemed done but not brown, so I turned on convection heat for a few minutes
  • Best if served warm; so for that middle of the night snack…your microwave will be your best friend!
