I could not wait to post my review. I just made this. I used a 9inch square pan. Moist and delicious. The amount for the crumb topping gave it the right sweetness. 5 star give it a try it will not disappoint. Question on nutrition count: states serves 4 but a 9 inch you can get 9 servings which definitely lowers the calorie count. But I am not sure how it is calculated. Thank you for a great receipe.

Loved it!!! I made this, scaled back to 1/2 of the recipe, for breakfast this morning. I read the other review and don't think I would have liked it with double of streusel, this was very sweet without doubling it. I did use chopped pecans and it added a nice flavor addition to the cake. I used King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour and you wouldn't even know that it had anything other then AP flour, so good. I adopted you for "Pick A Chef" (PAC) event and look forward to trying 2 other of your recipes.
