• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream margarine, eggs and sugars and add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. Add vanilla and blend well. Pour into well-greased cake pan. Sprinkle with topping, let stand covered in refrigerator overnight or bake immediately. Bake 350 degrees for 35 minutes in 9 x 13 pan.

May use coconut in place of nuts if you like.
