This is quite nice and so simple. I added some lemon juice to the batter for some extra umph. Yummy!

What a great & easy-to-make cake, & great tasting, too! I'm always willing to add a bit of zest to whatever seems to 'call' for it, & did so in this recipe as well, including as I did, almost a tablespoon of finely chopped lemon zest! Thanks for posting such a great recipe!

Great taste and simple to do. I loved the crumb topping. I just mixed the butter in with my pastry cutter and had no trouble. Will make this one again.

This is fast and easy! I really did enjoy the crumb topping, but had a hard time mixing in the chilled butter w/ the flour. Thanks for sharing!
