Since I can’t go to Mueller’s Bakery in Bay Head, NJ, these will have to do. And they do just fine.
Cake
2 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ sticks butter, softened
1/1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ sticks butter, melted
3 cups flour
½ cup powdered sugar for dusting
TOPPING:
Mix both sugars, cinnamon, and salt in medium mixing bowl. Add the warm melted butter and stir to blend.
Add flour and mix with a fork until moist clumps form. Squeeze a handful of the topping into your hand, if it doesn’t clump together, add some more melted butter until it does. Set aside.
