Crumb Cake is one of those things we always get when we go to Starbucks.
Always. If they have a slice we’re eating it. James is so European and
he doesn’t even know it. He loves having his coffee with the little
pastry cakes. Honestly the crumb part I wasn’t too crazy about. I will
however be using this recipe to make a certain puppy who will be three
in December her birthday cake. We’re crazy dog people we know. If anyone
makes this, or anything else on here for that matter, post a comment
telling me all about.
Another picture lost....
Ingredients
(Crumb Topping)
1 cup and 2 Tbsp of all purpose flour
1/3 of a cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 of a cup sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
A pinch of salt (thumb and forefinger)
1 stick of unsalted butter melted
(Cake)
1 cup of all purpose flour
3/4 of a teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of baking soda (thumb and forefinger)
5 Tbsp of unsalted butter softened
1/2 of a cup of sugar
1 egg
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 of a cup of milk
1/4 of a cup of sour cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
Grease a 9 by 9 baking pan (if you want to remove from dish add parchment paper for an easy lift)
(Crumbs)
Whisk together the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and salt
Pour in the melted butter and stir till combined
Add your flour in 3 to 5 scoops at a time blending together between each pour
Completely blend together and set aside
(Cake)
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Whip together the butter and sugar till
fluffy (again no electric mixer so I went stone age and combined with a
fork then my hands to get the same result)
Add the egg and vanilla to the sugared butter (begin using a greased wooden spoon)
In a separate bowl mix together sour cream
and milk (you should have one bowl all dry, one bowl all wet, and one
bowl with the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla mixture)
Add 1/3 of your flour mixture into your butter mixture and stir till combined
Add 1/2 of the milk and sour cream mixture and stir till combined
Add you second 1/3 of flour and again stir till combined
Add you second 1/2 of milk and sour cream and again stir until combined
Finally add in your third 1/3 of flour and stir till combined
As you stir raise the spoon with batter up
and fold back in several times to help capture air (it helps with the
moistness and fluffiness of white cake)
Pour the batter into the pan spreading evenly
Add the crumb mixture on top one handful at a time, sprinkling from above
Be sure to evenly cover the batter
Bake for 35 minutes (a knife should come clean when done)
