About This Recipe
Except for the the milk and small amount in the egg, the cake itself has very little fat and using low-fat milk will keep the fat to a minimum, I have stated the egg as optional, I strongly suggest to add it in for a more cake-like texture -- If you are looking for a fancy cake to serve then this is not it however for the ease of this cake it is darn good and makes a great weekend brunch cake, it's like a combination of a cake and cinnamon bun all in one, ridiculously simple to make as it's all mixed by hand and takes like 5 minutes to throw together, try adding in some chopped strawberries, apples or blueberries, raisins or dried cranberries, this recipe is a blank canvas, so go ahead and add in fruit, nuts chocolate chips whatever you wish, and to kick this up a notch drizzle recipe#120835 on top :) --- servings are only estimated
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Set oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2
Prepare a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, or two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans (although the batter will seem like it will fit into only one 8 or 9-inch pan, this flop rises very high and will run over the sides if baked in just one pan).
- 3
In a bowl mix the 2 cups flour, 1-1/4 cups white sugar, milk, vanilla or almond extract, baking powder, pinch of salt and egg (if using) until just combined careful not to overmix.
- 4
Pour into prepared baking pan/s.
- 5
Generously spread brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
- 6
If desired sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over top.
- 7
Drizzle melted butter over top.
- 8
Bake for about 20-25 minutes for 8 or 9-inch round cake pan, and about 30 minutes for a 13 x 9-inch pan.

SpaghettiPasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes
A simple sauce tossed with your favorite pasta for a quick yet healthy dish. Sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms provide a nice meaty texture for those who choose not use meat. Personally, I add a pound of jumbo shrimp at the end and substitute clam juice or seafood broth for chicken broth. This meal is served with a caesar salad and Texas toast After the sauce has cooked to desired thickness, just toss the pasta and you are ready for a treat. My idea, my version. Takes less than an hour minutes to prepare.
MexicanBeef or Chicken Fajitas
This recipe came from our church cookbook. I like this recipe because I can use either chicken or beef. I have tried both and I like the chicken the best. You can leave out the crushed red pepper which is what I do if you don't like your food spicy.
