Tasty, small cake. I used all melted butter, both in the cake and the crumb topping. My only other 'tweak' was to used instant espresso powder (2 teaspoonsful) dissolved in milk (for added richness). The cake had a lovely, dark colour once baked, and smelled delicious. I think a 1/2 cup of so of chopped, toasted walnuts in the topping might be a nice addition next time.
