Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13" rectangular baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together until incorporated. Pour in the oil and stir to combine until moist crumbs come together. Reserve 2 cups of the crumbs.
- Add in the beaten egg, buttermilk, and vanilla to the original bowl and stir until a thin batter comes together. Do NOT overmix the batter; some lumps are okay. Pour the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the top of the batter evenly with the crumbs.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool about 15-20 minutes before cutting into squares to serve, or cool longer if you want prettier squares as this is a very tender cake!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan with baking spray and set it aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Add the room temperature butter 1 tbsp at a time and allow each piece to incorporate before adding the next, 2-3 minutes, until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the oil and mix on low.
- In a large measuring glass, combine the eggs, yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the wet mixture to the mixer. Mix for 1 minute and add the sour cream. Continue to mix for 1 minute, then add the remaining milk mixture. Mix until just combined, 1 minute, and turn the mixer off.
- In a small bowl, combine ¾ cup of toasted pecans, ½ cup of sugar, and the cinnamon. Stir to combine. Pour roughly ¾ of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle about ¾ of the sugar mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and sugar mixture. Use a knife inserted all the way to the bottom of the pan and make figure-eight patterns to combine the sugar and batter slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean, 45-55 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert on a cooling rack for 40 minutes to finish cooling.
- While cooling, combine the powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake. Top with the remaining nuts and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your coffee cake. Fresh butter, eggs, and milk will give you the best results.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your coffee cake light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a tough coffee cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
