Flop Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425º F and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Start with making the topping by cutting butter into brown sugar and cinnamon until mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl or mixer, cream together butter and sugar until mixture resembles snow, then beat in egg and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Step 6

Transfer batter to greased baking dish, then sprinkle brown sugar topping over the surface.

Step 7

Place baking dish in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with white crumbs (it won’t come out fully clean, because of the topping).

Step 8

Let cool 15 minutes before serving, then slice, serve and enjoy!
