    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction

    Please just resist adding more flour. This is a thin batter when you pour it into your 8-inch pan.

    List of Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 teaspoons active dry yeast or 4 teaspoons fast rising yeast
    2/3 cup warm milk ( 100-110F, low fat is fine)
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 large egg

    Topping

    3 tablespoons butter, cold
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    vanilla frosting or confectioner's sugar icing


    Recipe


    Lightly grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan.

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.

    Dissolve the yeast in a measuring cup filled with the warmed milk, then stir milk mixture, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and egg into the flour mixture.

    Mix well, until very smooth. Pour into prepared pan and let rest for 15 minutes.

    While the dough rests, mix together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl using fingers until all the butter has been incorporated into the sugar and mixture is crumbly.

    Sprinkle evenly on top of rested dough and press the mixture down into the dough with your fingertips (or swirl in with a spatula.).

    Place pan into a cold oven, then set the oven temperature to 350°F.

    Bake for about 25 minutes.


    I like to glaze the top after it's come out of the oven. I take one cup of confectioner's sugar and mix with 3 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and then drizzle over warm cake and let it cool completely.
