CRUMBS:
1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Melted Butter + 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
2 and 1/2 Cup Flour, more if needed
Stir together Sugars, Salt and spices together add melted butter and vanilla stir well.  Gently fold in Flour with large fork. If too wet add more flour, You want to gently fold the flour in to make large soft crumbs, adding more flour only if the batter seems to wet, weather will affect the crumbs so you might need to add the extra flour, but you do not want this to be too dry. Now gently sprinkle the crumbs over your cake batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for at least 30 minutes. Check to see if there is any wet batter on the end of a toothpick. If wet batter bake and check every 5 minutes, mine took 45 minutes. Once baked let cool. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream! Delicious!
