My mother-in-law Loralyn kindly gave me this recipe. It's an old German recipe that is easily put together in just a few minutes. I added apricot jam for extra richness and flavour. The perfect treat with a morning coffee!

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Beat together eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Now add flour, and sprinkle baking powder all over.
3. Warm up vegetable oil and milk in a saucepan or microwave (just enough to take off the edge). Now add to the dry mixture. Gently blend together until combined.
4. Place in a parchment lined or heavily greased 8X8 pan.
5. Mix together butter, brown sugar, jam, and nuts or coconut. Drop tablespoons of topping all over the pan.
6. Bake on middle rack for 20-25 minutes, until baked completely. Test with a toothpick.

Use any jam your prefer; marmalade jam or apricot pineapple works.
Omit nuts if desired.
