• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups sugar (add in more for a sweeter taste)
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 -2 teaspoon vanilla (optional) or 1 -2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 large egg (optional)
• TOPPING
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (can use more or less)
• 1 -2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• chopped walnuts (optional) or pecans (optional)

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 9-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 brown sugar and cinnamon on top.

If desired sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over top.
Drizzle melted butter over top.

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
