For a richer flavor, use dark molasses instead of light. Ensure the butter is very cold for the best crumb topping. If the crumb topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Serve warm or at room temperature. Pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
