Ingredients
For the Crumbs
Instructions
In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups baking mix with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Use a fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Add more melted butter if needed until the crumbs reach desired size. For added texture, optionally mix in rolled oats. Set aside. You can also prepare the crumb topping ahead and store it in the freezer until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, water, and eggs until well combined. Gradually add the baking mix, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Tiny lumps are fine; avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely. Optionally, lightly dust with blitzed healthy sweetener for a sweet finish. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
Note
• Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake soft and fudgy.
• Tiny lumps in the batter are fine and help maintain a tender texture.
• Prepare the crumb topping ahead of time for easier assembly.
• Check doneness with a toothpick—remove as soon as it comes out clean to avoid dryness.
• Let the cake cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts and better texture.
