Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Combine all ingredients from egg whites to salt using a whisk. Whisk until smooth.

  3. Add remaining cake ingredients, and combine until a batter develops. Set aside.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crumble, and mix together with a spoon. Continue mixing until it is (you guessed it!) crumbly and all ingredients are well incorporated.

  5. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and add your cake batter. Smooth out using your spatula.

  6. Top the batter with your crumbles, and bake for 30 minutes until the middle is no longer jiggly. Depending on your oven you may need to only cook 25 minutes or as much as 35 minutes.

  7. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool.

  8. Add all ingredients for the icing in a small bowl, and stir until silky and smooth.

  9. Once the cake has cooled (30ish minutes) drizzle icing on top, and slice cake into 9 even pieces.

  10. Serve and enjoy!
