Buttery Crumb Coffee Cake
"I would prefer a slice of glazed coffee cake with big crumbs to a fancy layer cake most any day. It's even better when the cake is extremely easy and fast to make. I had this cake made, cooled, and ready in under an hour. It tastes like something you'd get at a bakery but better because it's not dry in the least. I doctored up a box of yellow cake mix with brown sugar, melted butter, and the result is a scrumptious crumb topping. The cake is soft, fluffy, and tender. The crumbs add subtle texture and it wouldn't be coffee cake without plenty of glaze. Great for brunch...."
