This has been a family favorite for 40 years or more! I have a couple of adaptations, though: Add a dash or two of cinnamon in the cake part. It improves the taste and color. Add a tablespoon or two more of sugar in the cake part for added sweetness. WE LOVE THE STREUSEL TOPPING! So I double the recipe for the topping. Also include nuts (walnut or pecans). Which brings me to the next point: Not everyone likes nuts, so I bake these as either regular muffins or mini-muffins. Half the batch is made without nuts in the topping. The other half has nuts as indicated by a piece of nut clearly showing on top. The muffins/mini-muffins work spectacularly well with this recipe. They are cute as buttons and everyone can choose their preferred style.
