This is my Nana's recipe, which I'm sure came from her Nana. My Mom added the cinnamon topping, and I like it that way. It is simple and good.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup sour milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour an 8 or 9 cake pan.
2. Combine the topping ingredients (1-1/2 Tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon) in a small bowl. Set aside and reserve for sprinkling on top of batter.
3. Combine the dry ingredients for the cake in a bowl.
4. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together egg, shortening and vanilla. Gradually beat in dry ingredients; then beat in sour cream or sour milk.
5. Pour into prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly over top of batter.
6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes.
