Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set it aside.

Spread the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Add the Topping: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan, covering it completely.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
