How to Make Coffee Cake Over Night

  1. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup shortening (vegetable or butter), 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 large eggs.
  3. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  5. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Repeat layers with the remaining batter and topping.
  8. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
