I have a feeling that baking the cake halfway, then adding the crumbs might work. Let me know what happens! Another idea is to chill the crumb mixture in the refrigerator before breaking it up and sprinkling it over the cake. Might work?Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01505425216699416546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214773609385433303.post-40809340191931537782010-09-14T09:35:07.957-04:002010-09-14T09:35:07.957-04:00I appreciate your answer!

Do y...Francie: Hmm...I wish I knew what went wrong. Do you have an oven thermometer? Maybe your oven temperature is a bit hotter than it reads. Or maybe you're using extra large eggs, which might make the batter a little runnier. You might want to try baking the cake halfway, and then adding the crumbs on top, then baking it until done. Might work?Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01505425216699416546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214773609385433303.post-80850621462458164822010-09-13T16:57:33.989-04:002010-09-13T16:57:33.989-04:00My crumbs sank to the bottom of the cake and it se...My crumbs sank to the bottom of the cake and it seemed to brown very quickly. I am a fairly experienced baker and I've made this twice now with the same results. Any ideas of what I might have done wrong?
