Pour half of the mixture into the pan and spread evenly

In your second medium mixing bowl, make your streusel by combining:

1. 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar

Then mix with your whisk.

Then sprinkle a little less than half of the streusel on top of the batter and spread it evenly.

Place 1/3 cup of butter into a small bowl. Put it in the microwave and melt it for 1 minute, or until fully melted.

When the cake is ready to be taken out of the oven, use hand mitts and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Your cake is now ready!
