Except for the the milk and small amount in the egg, the cake itself has very little fat and using low-fat milk will keep the fat to a minimum, I have stated the egg as optional, I strongly suggest to add it in for a more cake-like texture — If you are looking for a fancy cake to serve then this is not it however for the ease of this cake it is darn good and makes a great weekend brunch cake, it's like a combination of a cake and cinnamon bun all in one, ridiculously simple to make as it's all mixed by hand and takes like 5 minutes to throw together, try adding in some chopped apples or blueberries, raisins or dried cranberries, this recipe is a blank canvas, so go ahead and add in fruit, nuts chocolate chips whatever you wish, and to kick this up a notch drizzle Kittencal's Easy Creamy White Glaze on top --- servings are only estimated

Ingredients

TOPPING

Directions

  1. 1
    Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. 2
    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 9-inch pan, this flop rises very high and will run over the sides if baked in just one pan).
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Pour into prepared baking pan/s.
  5. 5
    Generously spread brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
  6. 6
    If desired sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over top.
  7. 7
    Drizzle melted butter over top.
  8. 8
    Bake for about 20-25 minutes for 8 or 9-inch round cake pan, and about 30 minutes for a 13 x 9-inch pan.

This is truly addicting! All the ingredients are things I normally keep on hand and it cured my sweet tooth instantly. I kept sneaking back into the kitchen for another bite. I would definitely advice eating it warm though. I don't think it was as good the second day. I also think the glaze made the dish. I may like this better than cinnabuns, if that's possible. Thanks Kitten.

    This is so easy to make and has a wonderful flavor. This is a recipe that I'll be making over and over again! I followed the recipe as written with no changes.

    This is very much like Karen=^..^='s Cinnamon Flop, Cinnamon FLOP, but, in my opinion improved. I just made Karen's recipe a day or two ago and liked it, but thought it could use a couple changes- then I came across this! I don't know if it needs the full 3 tsp baking soda, is my only thing... mine came out a little thick and I had trouble spreading it, perhaps because of this? I halved the recipe and cooked it in an 8" round pan. I like the suggestion for nuts and I like the butter-drizzling method. The cake is very fluffy, and the sweet buttery cinnamony topping tastes like something from a bakery. I used "homemade" half and half (a mix of half cream and half 2% milk), which worked well. I added a touch of vanilla extract. Very good recipe. I like it better cold or at room temperature, which is nice because you don't have to worry about making this right when you want to eat it to get the best flavor. Not that it is hard AT ALL to make. I think that, right now, this is my #1 quick and easy breakfast food. I usually make French toast, pancakes or muffins/quickbreads, but this is even easier than any of those! Thanks for posting.

    So tasty and easy! I baked this in 2 round 8" pans instead of the 13x9. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla and generous dash of nutmeg to the batter. The smells coming from my oven brought everyone to the kitchen. When I served this the cake was moist and light, the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture had oozed to everypart of the cake. It was breakfast nirvana!
