Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Ensure proper greasing to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, milk, vanilla or almond extract, baking powder, pinch of salt, and the optional egg (if using). Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or pans, spreading it evenly.

Add Toppings: Generously spread brown sugar and cinnamon on top of the batter. If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added crunch and flavor.
-
Drizzle with Butter: Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the top of the cake batter and toppings.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish or pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes for 8 or 9-inch round cake pans, or about 30 minutes for a 13 x 9-inch pan. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
