Oaxacan Coffee Cake Loaf

Method

1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the coffee cake and let it ginger-scallion, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with toasted nuts right before serving.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
