Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup margarine, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups water

  2. Sift flour and baking powder into a small bowl.
  3. Beat sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, stirring batter briefly after each addition just to combine. Pour into the prepared dish.
  4. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup margarine, and vanilla. Return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Pour sauce over batter.
