Grease the tin and lay baking paper over the longer sides of the tin. Pour the batter into the tin, sprinkle with the crumble mixture and bake for approximately 35 minutes in a fan oven at 165C. At the end of the baking time use a toothpick to make sure the cake is baked through. Leave it to cool down in the tin and remove it carefully.
