Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Grease an 8-inch microwave-safe cake pan (such as glass or ceramic) with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  5. In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon.
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  10. Microwave the cake on high for 6 minutes.
  11. Check for doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it is done. If not, microwave in 30-second increments until done.
  12. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven under the preheated broiler, positioning the rack about 4 inches from the heating element.
  13. Broil for 1 to 3 minutes, watching closely, until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
