Diane's Sleepover Cake

When Aunt Diane gave me this recipe I thought it was some awesome cake made for sleepovers, and I was bummed that my mom never made me a cake for sleepovers.  I was happy to learn that this cake wasn't something that I had been missing out on during sleepovers but that the sleepover part was talking about the cake itself.  It is a sleepover cake because the cake sleeps over in the fridge the night before you bake it! You're off the hook Mom!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 cup buttermilk

2/3 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Topping

1/2 cup brown sugar - lightly packed

1/2 cup pecans

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 cup melted butter

Melt 2/3 cup butter

beat eggs into buttermilk

top with 1/2 pecan pieces

put the cake in fridge for its sleepover

top with 1/4 cup melted butter

Enjoy!
