Make the topping first. Leaving the batter to sit before baking may cause problems with rising, causing the topping to sink into the cake.
Use good quality unbleached flour (with4-5g of protein) for the best result. Lower quality flour may not have the stability to hold the topping.
Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added. Overmixing can cause a tough, dense cake.
Be sure to cool the cake completely before dusting with the sugar. A warm cake will melt the sugar.
