This was a big hit at the dinner party my parents held tonight! The prep was simple and it came out delicious. It was a little bit sweet, but was very good with coffee and tea. I'm used to seeing crumb cake in squares so next time I'll make it in a baking dish instead of a cake pan, but that is purely a matter of personal preference. Will definitely make it again!04/07/07

I thought this was only okay. I realize it's a light recipe, but I think more sugar would make it lots better. And the topping was too floury. Next time, I'll add a little butter to the topping, and less flour. Also, I'm going to add 1/4 or so sugar to the cake recipe.11/16/03
