Most delicious coffee cake

When I was little I always thought coffee cakes contained some sort of coffee, so I never ate them. I understand now that these cakes are really great WITH coffee. Or milk. Yum.

I was messing around making some dinner this afternoon, when I felt like combining a bunch of stuff into a bowl and making a cake. This is neither vegan NOR low-fat. Hahaha. Lots of sugar. But once in a while, stuff like this is such a real treat! Anyway. This is what I came up with:



Topping:
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp margarine
1/2 cup flour

Cake:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract


Steps:
- Preheat oven to 360degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly flour a round baking pan(use an 8" or a 9", whatever you have. I don't recommend going smaller because the cake rises quite a bit, and it will end up spilling over the sides).
- Whisk together all the dry cake ingredients(flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in a large bowl. Then add the oil, the egg, the milk, and the vanilla extract. Set aside(don't let sit for too long or the oil will separate!).
- Then, mix together the sugar, the flour, and the cinnamon for the topping in a bit of a smaller bowl. Then, slowly add the margarine. The mixture should be brownish and crumbly.
- Pour the cake mix into the middle of the pan on a flat surface. Then, evenly crumble the topping onto the cake mix.
- Place in the oven until the top is hard like a shell(around 40 minutes, I guess), or until a knife comes clean(of batter) when you stick it in the middle. The topping will melt and integrate with the cake mix, leaving some spots of the cake to just be sections of cinnamon and sugar(I'm not complaining), so if you stick a knife in and cinnamon-sugar looking stuff is on it, that's a good sign. Just check other spots because it doesn't happen throughout the whole cake).

When you're done, you can fancy it up by lightly sprinkling some confectioners sugar on top.

It will be cook to maybe about 2x the size, so make sure you use a big enough pan!

I have to say, this is probably the best recipe I've ever come up with. :D
I said BEST, not necessarily the healthiest. Bahaha.
