Well after reading a few blogs I think many of us turned this cake into cupcakes. The reason I decided to do cupcakes is due in large part to my two little boys who like easy snacks and to be honest - I only have 1 left out of 12!!! My 2.5 year-old has loved these cupcakes and I have to say I was indifferent towards them.
I wasn't a big fan of the topping because I believe in leaving butter chunks in the topping to give it a little crunch. I felt like this cake was a little dry and I should have added some diced fuji apples like I normally do when I'm make a coffee cake. Next time I think I will tweak the recipe just a little and see what I can come up with.
Jenn at Zolly Zoo was our host this week and she did great picking a recipe that I haven't tried before. I think what made it different was the topping. I did end up using light instead of dark brown sugar (pretty much because I didn't want to make an extra trip into town to find the dark sugar) and like Jenn said in her post - it looked like uncooked sausage. I would have to agree but it was still good. Needs more brown sugar and butter for my liking though.
If you'd like to find the recipe for this cake you can head over to Jenn's BLOG and she will have it listed there. Thank you for being a great host this week Jenn!!!
