This recipe goes back at least as far as my grandmother, who was born in the early 1900s. Our sons and I enjoy eating it in a bowl with milk poured on it-much to the dismay of my husband, who prefers it plain! -Kathy Nienow Clark, Byron, Michigan

I got creative with the crumb topping and added some chopped nuts and dried cranberries. It added a nice extra crunch and flavor to the cake.

I'm gluten-free and dairy-free, but I was still able to enjoy this cake by using gluten-free flour and dairy-free butter. It was just as delicious as the original recipe.

I made a few substitutions to make this cake healthier, using whole wheat flour and reducing the amount of sugar. It still turned out great and my family loved it.
