Repeat with another third of cake mix, and the rest of the brown sugar

Top with the last third of cake mix

Grab the crumb mixture, and fluff it up slightly with a fork to break it up into smaller pieces, and then sprinkle over the top of the cake

Bake the cake in the oven for 55-65+ minutes, until baked through. If towards the end it's starting to brown a lot, cover with foil until baked fully.

Remove from the oven and cool fully in the tin
