- Pour the Coffee Cake batter into the parchment-lined 8 x 8 baking dish, smooth out carefully to make the batter even and level. Then place the Crumble Topping on top of the batter.
- Bake at 350 F for 28 to 30 minutes. Note: Place a piece of foil across the top of the cake at the 15-minute mark to prevent over-browning of the crumble.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool for at least 25 minutes, serve warm with warm vegan custard if you like, but it's great cold too.
