This tasted good. The topping was the consistency of a handful of mud. I'll try the other topping or try it with chilled butter next time.

    Usually I try recipes "as is" before making any adjustments, but I wish I had made this the first time around using CountryLady's topping suggestion, or at least cutting down on the 1/2 C butter. It left the whole cake just WAY too buttery and greasy. It seems like a promising dessert; the batter was delicious (I know, you're not supposed to eat it at that stage)!

    After reading the other comments about the topping, I decided to make my own. I combined 9 tbsps flour, 9 tbsps margarine, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 2 tsps cinnamon & 1/2 tsp nutmeg. The mixture was too moist to crumble - so I took small handfuls which I flattened & distributed over the cake. I served it with ice cream for dessert last night & it was so good that I gave my husband 2 pieces in his lunch today - the 2nd piece is for the 19 year old student that is working for him this summer!!

    This is a great recipe, the people at work quite enjoyed it. I also made the cake with apples and added the usual accompanying spices. I also found the topping to be too wet so I used half the suggested amount of butter the second time around and I still found it a little too wet. But no matter how much butter you use, it still is a terrific recipe.
