You can make the cake a day ahead, store it in an airtight container, and serve it the next day. The flavors tend to deepen as it sits.

Can I make the topping in advance?

Yes! You can prepare the crumb topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just sprinkle it on top before baking.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make it gluten-free, swap the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix and ensure your flour for the crumb topping is also gluten-free.
