Crumb Cake

By

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.
