Please solve the programming task below using a self-contained code snippet in a markdown code block.

Given a 0-indexed integer array nums, find the leftmost middleIndex (i.e., the smallest amongst all the possible ones).
A middleIndex is an index where nums[0] + nums[1] + ... + nums[middleIndex-1] == nums[middleIndex+1] + nums[middleIndex+2] + ... + nums[nums.length-1].
If middleIndex == 0, the left side sum is considered to be 0. Similarly, if middleIndex == nums.length - 1, the right side sum is considered to be 0.
Return the leftmost middleIndex that satisfies the condition, or -1 if there is no such index.
 
Please complete the following python code precisely:
```python
class Solution:
    def findMiddleIndex(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
```
