Cinnamon Toast Cake

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt 1 stick of butter in the microwave.
Using a spoon, mix together in a bowl:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 of the melted butter (the rest will go on top)
Spread batter in a greased 9x13 pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes.

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

When it's finished baking and is still hot out of the oven, pour and spread the remaining melted butter on top of cake, then sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon/sugar mix. Put it under the broiler and broil until top is crinkly and bubbly.

Cool, cut into squares and eat.

Important note: If you tend to get distracted in the morning and are likely to forget the cake under the broiler and burn it, use this method instead: Pour the butter and sprinkle the topping on the uncooked batter and just bake the whole thing, skipping that last step. That's the way I usually do it.
