Notes:
-
12
This cake is not extremely sweet-it's more like a muffin. If you want a sweeter cake just add some sugar or more honey. This cake is delicious served with whipping cream or vanilla ice cream/yogurt.

Note, the crumble topping is actually on the bottom of the cake after you flip it out of the bundt pan. If you don't have a bundt pan, you could always use a loaf tin or a muffin tin.
