   and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons
   butter until crumbly.
   
4. Next, make the glaze by
   mixing together powdered sugar and enough water to form a smooth
   consistency that's just thin enough to drizzle; set aside.
   
5. When cake is ready, sprinkle
   top with streusel topping. Bake for 15 to 18 more minutes, or
   until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in
   pan on wire rack. Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze.
