"Old, old recipe given to me by my Canadian cousin, Margarida, so very many years ago. I've been making this since I was teeny-weeny. It's an old-fashioned simple recipe, but ever so good."

Delicious! Love the soft crumb of this cake and the topping is perfect with it. When I made the batter, I thought it was a bit thin for a cake batter, but it turned out lovely. It did have a wee bit of a dip in the center but the topping covered that. Don't know why that happened as the cake was baked through. This is one cake that will see repeats here for sure! Thanks for sharing ForeverMama! Made for Pick Me! Tag game.

Yum! This reminds me a lot of my grandmother's Lazy Daisy cake. My grandson had a friend over and kept repeating how wonderful this was. Thanks for sharing, ForeverMama. Made for FYC tag.
