Cake:
2 cups flour
3/4 - 1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup of oil (I use canola)
milk (add to desired consistency - I use skim)
Topping:
Brown sugar
Cinnamon (optional) - add just enough to desired flavor
Pinch of flour
Butter (we use light butter - Land of Lakes with canola oil)

1
Cake: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon until you can easily form a loose dollop onto a baking pan.
2
Topping: Mix until it's just a dry/crumbly mix that is fairly easy to sprinkle on top of the dollops. I put a concentration of the topping in the center and only lightly sprinkle the remaining top of the dollop. When it bakes, there will be a nice sunken topping crater to work your way toward from the edge.
3
Bake at 400 degrees until very lightly brown on top.
4
Slather with butter and enjoy while still fairly hot. These are best when eaten right away.
