I had been watching a show on foodnetwork.com and they were showcasing the famous New Your Style Crumb Cake. I was looking all over for a good substitute and ended up making my own to capture that perfect crumb topping and soft cake. I never have any left and my kids say you best not be late for breakfast Mom made crumb cake!

    Be sure to buy the cake mixes when they go on sale for $1 or less per cake mix. This recipe sure saves money over the frozen crumb cakes that run about $4-5. each. This freezes well and cake may be warmed in the microwave before serving. Always serve with a pat of butter on top! For a dessert serve with light whipped topping!
