Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar add in more for a sweeter taste
  • 1 1/4 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 1-2 teaspoon vanilla optional or almond extract (optional)
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 large egg optional

TOPPING

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar more if desired
  • 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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-inch pan, this flop rises very high and will run over the sides if baked in just one pan).
  • 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.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan/s.
  • Generously spread dark brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
  • If desired sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over top.
  • Drizzle melted butter over top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
