This recipe came from Moof:
I saw this cake and it looked like fun. You can just use the main cake ingredients for a more moist cake dough. I've also experimented by putting raspberries in with the dough after making it up, and putting the whole crumble on top. Source: 500 Fabulous Cakes and Bakes, Ted Smart.
