3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
3/4 cup pecans
2 tbsp toasted wheat germ
2 tbsp ground flax seed
Now for the cake...
Mix the dry ingredients.
2 cups flour (or 1 1/2 cups white flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Then in a separate bowl mix 1 stick softened butter and 1/3 cup Splenda. I use Splenda because you'll never notice it with the brown sugar topping. And it reduces the sugar and calories. I eat this for breakfast and not dessert after all. Add 2 beaten eggs or egg beaters. Then mix in one container of ricotta cheese. Whatever fat percentage you want. And 2 tsp vanilla. Lastly mix in the flour mixture.
Then spread the batter in a buttered glass 8 x 12 pan as shown in top photo. It will be a thick batter.

Yum! I'm so hungry right now and I'd REALLY like a piece (or two) of this.
I am imagining sliding the pan into the oven on a Sunday morning. The scent of the brown sugar and cinnamon would be heavenly. Yum!
I am not a coffee person but this looks great with my favorite walnuts. I want a piece please!
