How to Make Buttermilk Kuchen

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10x15 inch jelly-roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ cup vegetable oil until combined.
  3. Remove 1/2 cup of the dry mixture and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the reserved dry mixture with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. In the large bowl with the remaining dry ingredients, whisk in 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon baking soda until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared jelly-roll pan and spread evenly.
  6. Arrange your choice of fruit (about 2 cups, such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches) evenly over the batter.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon topping evenly over the fruit.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
