- Place the crumble mix on top of the cake batter and place in a preheated oven set at 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas 4 and bake for 45/ 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Once the cake is baked, remove and allow to sit for 5 minutes before removing the tin.
