Crumb Cake

By Addie

This will be the last crumb cake recipe you'll ever need. It's wonderful. It's my friend Fran's mother's recipe. It's far from low fat and I guess that's what makes it such a delicious cake. Everyone will ask you for the recipe.

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box butter recipe cake mix
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• ......................................
• Crumb Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups butter ( VERY SOFT - almost melted)
• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Grease and flour a cookie sheet with sides (11 x 17 or 10 1/2 x 15) Mix cake using above ingredients. Spread in cookie sheet.


2. Bake 350° for 20 minutes (20 minutes is the time for the 10 1/2 x 15 pan, so a little less time if you are using the bigger pan.I like using the 11 x 17 pan best.)


3. Make the Crumb Topping: Add ingredients to bowl and mix together. Spread in chunks covering cake. Bake 15 minutes more.

4. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Note: Throwing the crumb topping ingredients in the processor gets it done fast and easy...just don't let the butter be too soft.
