Velvet Crumb Cake Original Recipe From Bisquick

I got this recipe off the side of a bisquick box over 20 years ago. It's the best cake i've ever had. They took the recipe off the box so i e-mailed them and asked them to send it to me. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but this is one i could eat everyday. i changed the coconut to wheaties as i can't see a crumb cake with coconut. i've always made it with wheaties. I also double the topping because it's so sweet and good, but i wrote the recipe as it's called for. Hope you enjoy this. By the way they've since put this recipe back on the box.
