Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg

Topping ingredients for Cake:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar in a bowl. Stir in melted butter, vanilla extract, buttermilk and egg. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. I have made this in a deep dish pie plate and a 9 x 9 baking dish, both work fine. Spread cake batter in dish.
  • In a bowl whisk together the dark brown sugar and cinnamon for topping. Pour in melted butter and mix until all ingredients are wet. (I just do this with my hands) Sprinkle over cake batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes until center tests done. Makes 1 layer cake or 6 to 8 cake slices.
