Servings: persons

2 cups herman starter, five days after last feeding
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 pan.
2
Beat eggs; add sugar and oil, beating well.
3
Add remaining dough ingredients (starter, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, baking soda, salt, nuts &/or raisins) and beat 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed. (Note: This goes against my policy to not mix flour any more than necessary to get the dough to come together. I don't beat it this much myself.).
4
Pour dough into greased 9x13 bakign pan.
5
Combine the topping ingredients: 1T flour, 1t cinnamon, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle topping over batter in pan.
6
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check middle of cake for doneness; otherwise it may turn out soggy.
7
Note: 1 teaspoon each of nutmeg and ginger may be added as well. Another variation places the nuts in the topping and folds one cup of drained, crushed fruit (pineapple, peaches, etc) into the batter.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
