Café de Olla Spice Crater Cake

Topping Ingredients: 2 tbsp. brown sugar 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. butter softened in microwave for 20 seconds 1 tsp. Baker’s Brew Coffee Spice zest of quarter of a orange or 1/4 tsp. dehydrated orange peel 1/2 tsp. orange juice Cake Ingredients: 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 tbsp. Baker’s Brew Coffee Spice 2 eggs 2/3 cup orange juice 1/3 cup molasses 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions: Mix all the topping ingredients together and place in refrigerator for 10-20 minutes to harden. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda and spice. Next, in a separate bowl, combine the eggs, orange juice, molasses, oil and sour cream. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Pour into a greased 8 or 9 inch round baking pan. Next, pinch small amounts of the topping onto to the top of the batter. Distribute evenly, leaving gaps between topping so the craters can form during baking. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (from the cake, not the topping). Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut and serve warm.
