Breakfast cake

I got this recipe from my MIL also. It's like a coffee cake, but since we don't drink coffee.... Anyway, it's really good. Make sure you bake until it's done or it will fall in the middle and be really gooey.

1/4 c. oil
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine oil, egg and milk. Sift together dry ingredients; add to milk mixture; mix well. pour into greased 9x9 pan. Sprinkle with spicy toping. Bake at 375 F for about 25 minutes.
Spicy topping
1 Tbsp. melted butter
1/4 c. brown sugar (I use about 1/3 c.)
1 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. broken nuts (optional)
mix all ingredients and sprinkle over cake batter.
