Cinnamon Toast Cake

The kids LOVE it when I make this for breakfast! It's not the best way to start the day, health wise, but I try to offer some kind of protein with it to make me feel less guilty. This week the kids talked me into it because I was all out of eggs and the recipe requires none! It is very dense and flat, giving it the appearance of toast. The broiled cinnamon sugar on top is the grand finale. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Toast Cake
*************************

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Melt 1 stick of butter
Mix together in a bowl:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp of the melted butter (save the rest for the topping)
Spread batter in a greased 9X13 pan (it will be thick!)
Bake 20-25 mins.

While it is baking, stir together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

While the cake is hot, right out of the oven, pour and spread the remaining melted butter on top of the cake, then sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Put it under the broiler and broil until top is crinkly and bubbly.

Cut into bars and enjoy!
