AnkoCupp from Palatine, IL

This is a very delicious cake. The cake itself is not too sweet and comes out with a tender crumb and slightly crusty exterior. When it came time to top the cake with the crumb, we left out about half a pound of the crumb mixture, because it seemed like it would just be too much. There's a great almond aroma in the crumb.

One thing to remember is that this cake batter is extremely stiff. Contrary to what the recipe says, there is no "pouring" into the pan. More like plopping and spreading.

Also, when the cake originally came out of the oven, the crumb topping was an unappetizing blonde. Putting the cake back under the broiler for a minute browned it up. Just be careful: it can burn easily.
