½ C milk
2 t salad oil
½ t almond extract

Dry ingredients-
1 C flour
½ t salt
2 t baking powder

Streusel ingredients-
another ½ C flour

Mix the egg, ½ C sugar, milk and ½ t almond extract in a bowl and set aside. 
Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until just absorbed. Pour into greased 8 inch square pan or a round cake pan. It’s a very thin batter.

For the streusel topping place the ½ C flour, the ¼ sugar , the ¼ C butter and the ½ t almond extract in a small bowl and using your fingers, crumble until it is the consistency of wet sand. Make sure the butter is cold and has been cut in small cubes.

Sprinkle topping over the top of the cake mixture and bake in 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
