Mamie's Coffee Cake
Mix 2 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup salad oil in a bowl until crumbling and thoroughly blended. Take out 3/4 cup of this mixture and put in a small bowl with 1/2 cup pecans and 2 teaspoons cinnamon -- set aside.
To the remaining add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Pour into a 9 X 13 baking dish and sprinkle the topping over the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile -- combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and a couple tablespoons of water (enough to mix and make a pour-able icing).
Pour icing over the coffee cake the minute it comes out of the oven -- while it is still hot.
