Notes

Notes:
Watch the crunch topping while the cake is baking; if it begins to get brown, loosely place a piece of foil over the dish, and continue baking.

To place foil over the dish while baking - fold a large piece of foil in half, and then unfold it, and place it in a tent like manner over the dish.

You don't want the foil to lay flat against the top of the dish, but up off the dish, so the cake can continue to bake evenly.
