Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Step 2

Mix all dry cake ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, beat egg with milk, water and vanilla. Add the melted butter to the dry cake ingredients, then stir in the egg/milk mixture, mixing until all dry ingredients are incorporated. It is important here NOT to use an electric mixer but to mix with a spoon--the "cake" is actually a muffin base by the amount of baking powder, so it should not be "over-mixed."

Step 3

Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the topping ingredients until they resemble a paste--for this you CAN use an electric mixer.

Step 5

Drop topping randomly over top of cake batter--I did 4 rows with 3 dollops in each row, each dollop being about 2 tbs. Now pull a knife through the cake and topping, "marblizing" the topping into the top part of the cake batter.

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool slightly on a rack.

Step 7

Mix the glaze ingredients in a small bowl, adding ONLY enough milk or cream to make a thick but pourable glaze--always start with the lowest amount of liquid.

Step 8

Drizzle glaze over cake and let it set about 15 minutes. Cake may be served warm or completely cooled.

Step 9

Makes about 12 servings.
