Topping directions:
  1. Get a small bowl to mix together the topping. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and oats. Stir this up and then add in cubed butter. Cut the butter in with the sugar mixture until it resembles pea sized chunks. (I use my hands, but a fork also works) Now, sprinkle evenly over top of the cake batter.
