This cake was pretty good. Like many others have suggested, I too would have used brown sugar instead of cocoa. Also, the picture shows a glaze but this recipe does not include that. I found a vanilla glaze that went really well on top. 1 cup confectioners sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 2 tbsp. milk.

I didn't care for the cocoa in the middle. Cake was moist. Next time I would use a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture like a few others suggested.

I am soooo angry! LOL I made this for a Bible Study Class snack yesterday - and they ate every last crumb! There was nothing to bring home...It was so delicious and soooo easy. Will have to make this again to enjoy at home!

Wonderful and EASY recipe...I changed it to be a blueberry cake with a brown sugar and cinnamon streusel. I added one cup frozen blueberries (would have been good with 1/2 cup more) to the cake mixture. Here is the streusel recipe I used... 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 2 1/2 tablespoons margarine.

The recipe for the cake is great. Instead of the cocoa I use a brown sugar and cinnamon mix for the streusel.

This recipe was extremely easy to make and tasted great. I wasn't able to go shopping today so I had to use vanilla yogurt instead of plain and hot cocoa mix instead of cocoa. It turned out great and my family loved it. I might add a vanilla glaze to it the next time I make it.

This was pretty yummy- I tweeked the recipe a little after reading the other comments. I used fat free sour cream instead of yogurt because that's what I had, made the streusel with pecans and added two Tbls of brown sugar as well. Before topping with the rest of the batter I also sprinkled some mini-chocolate chips over the streusel. It took about 40 minutes to bake in a 9x13 pan. I just had a piece (had to try it before I take it to a meeting...) and I'm going to make a little glaze for the top to add a little extra umph. Overall, good, easy recipe though- I will keep it on file.
