The cake itself is so simple, moist and delicious. Because I was using a darker pan, I turned the temp down to 350 F and baked a bit longer (5-10 min longer). It came out SUPER moist. I also added 1 T vinegar to the batter. I think that helped. I also added chopped apples. It added to the moistness and delicate flavor of the cake. The crumbly topping was just OK. I like my streusel toppings really nice and thick and crumbly. So the 2nd time I used this recipe, I substituted the crumble mixture with a modified Martha Stewart mixture:
(You can scale this down):
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
My additions:
1 tsp - 1 T cinnamon (my addition)
1/4 cup of walnuts
Just form clumps and add to the top.
Overall, great proportions with the cake. Thanks for sharing!
