brown and granulated sugars, oil, 1 tsp of the cinnamon, ginger, and
the salt until smooth. Transfer 3/4 cup of the mixture to a small
bowl. Add the walnuts to the small bowl and mix until well combined.
Set the nut mixture aside to be used later as the topping. 3. Add the
buttermilk, remaining 1 tsp cinnamon, egg, baking powder, and baking
soda to the remaining batter in the large bowl and whisk just until
smooth. Transfer to the baking pan. Sprinkle the nut mixture evenly
over the top. 4. Bake until the topping is browned and a toothpick
inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean, about 30 mins.
Cool the cake in the pan for at least 20 mins. Serve the cake warm or
