Its a beautiful day in the Yankee neighborhood

This recipe was a HUGE hit at work today.... and Roger kept asking for the recipe, so this one is for you Mr. Rogers.

Pecan Crumb Cake
This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light- though how you can call it "light" with a half pound of butter in there - I simply don't know.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup butter, cubed (i use 1 package of Plugra)
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans

1. Stir together flour and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or your hands or your beloved KitchenAid until crumbly. Press ~2 cups crumb mixture evenly on the bottom of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan.

2. Stir together buttermilk, egg, and baking soda; add to remaining crumb mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Pour wet mixture over crumb crust in pan; sprinkle evenly with cinnamon mixture and pecans.

3. Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.
