- Pour the batter into your cake tin.
- Top with the honey crumb mixture and press it down lightly to hold into the top of the cake.
- Bake for 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out of the center of the cake clean and doesn’t feel oily when you rub the skewer between your fingers.
- Remove and allow to cool.
- Sprinkle confectioner’s or icing sugar over the top.
- Slice and serve.
