Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the dry streusel ingredients together. Add the melted butter and stir until it looks like wet sand. Set aside.

  5. Drop the rest of the batter on top by spoonfuls and gently spread it out with a flat or angled spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the top with the remaining streusel. Bake 45-50 minutes.
  7. Remove and cool.
  8. Stir together the powdered sugar and milk. Spoon into a small Ziplock bag and cut one tip off. Drizzle over the top of the cake. Let set before cutting.
