  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a generous amount of butter and sugar in the streusel topping. This will give the topping a crispy, golden-brown texture.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
