Dinette Cake

I cleaned my car out today. It was so dirty. I have to leave to pick up my clients today at 2:00. In between, I decided to try out this recipe from Reminise Magazine. I'm supposed to meet Heather at the AV fair tonight, once I drop off the boys.

Dinette CakeIT ONLY TAKES MINUTES to get this cake into the oven. It's one of my favorite desserts. I love serving this treat to guests, and it's also one of my grandchildren frequently request I make for them. -Margaret Sanders, Indianapolis, Indiana


Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh fruit or ice cream, optional

Directions: In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, milk, oil, egg and vanilla until blended. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture until blended. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with fruit or ice cream if desired. Yield: 8-9 servings. Editor's Note: Pieces of cake can be wrapped individually and frozen. Then thaw for a quick dessert.

So, here is the finished product.

Conclusion: Very tasty cake if you want something light. I loved the crunchy top. Overall, it tasted a bit like cornbread. I didn't have any fresh fruit for the topping. I think I would make it again.
