Yield 1 9-inch square cake, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup unbleached flour, unsifted
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
2 1/4 cups unbleached flour, unsifted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (1/4 ounce) packet dry yeast
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 large egg

Steps:

TOPPING: Mix sugars, cinnamon and flour. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
CAKE: To make cake, mix 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl.
Place milk and butter in a sauce pan and heat until very warm (120°- 130° F). Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes.
Beat in egg and 1 cup flour then beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft but stiff batter.
Spread batter into a well-greased 9-inch square cake pan and sprinkle with topping.
Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes or until done.
