Description
On Saturday morning, my Dad would rise early, go for the paper, and stop in the bakery for our weekend treats. He would bring home crumb cake because it was Mom’s favorite (we didn’t turn our nose up either). As he travelled home, some crumbs would fall to the bottom of the box, and Mom would spoon them out and right onto her plate. She’d say she could eat a box of crumbs! This crumb coffee cake is simple, but it’s the crumbs that make it wonderful! I hope you’ll try it and make your own memories.
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 3/4 | cups flour |
| 1 3/4 | cups sugar |
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 3 | tsp baking powder |
| 1/2 | tsp salt |
| 2 | eggs |
| 1/2 – 2/3 | cup milk |
| 1/4 | cup butter (for topping) |
| 1/4 | cup brown sugar (for topping) |
| 2 | tsp cinnamon (for topping) |
| 1 | pinch salt (for topping) |
| Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting) |
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside 2 cups of this mixture for the topping.
- Add butter, eggs, and milk to the remaining flour mixture and mix well.
- Grease and flour a 13-inch rectangle baking pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For the topping: Take the 2 cups of reserved flour mixture and add to the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix together with your fingers until blended and lumps begin to form when you squeeze the mixture, making small pea-sized crumbs (make them to your liking).
- We love HUGE crumbs on ours, so I squeeze handfuls of the mixture and let the big pieces drop off onto the cake batter and cover the surface with smaller ones as I empty the bowl.
- Cover the entire cake with crumbly mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- When cooled, dust with confectioner’s sugar.
