This was excellent with my blueberry sauce poured over it!!! :-) I then made it with peaches and cream and boy oh boy was that a treat. Yummy yummy! Its simple and easy, but very enjoyable. Thanks!

This is a fantastic breakfast cake. My family and friends LOVE it. DH is a chocoholic so he pours chocolate syrup on top of it while it's still warm. Have to admit it is really good that way also. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

The perfect cake -- it was easy to bake and is just right for coffee and snacks. I added a little brown sugar and cinnamon to the topping crumbs. Also, after greasing my 8" pans with a light film of Crisco, I floured them and the cakes popped right out. Thank you so much for sharing your fine recipe with us Miss Annie!

Very nice Miss Annie! Really easy to make, and very sweet! I loved the Idea of using the crumb mixture for both the dough and the topping. Lovely!
