How To Make lots-of-crumbs coffee cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For topping: Combine flour and sugars, and ground cinnamon, in a large mixing bowl and toss lightly to combine. Pour in melted butter and stir lightly with a fork to form crumbs. To make large crumbs, squeeze fistfuls of mixture together. (This is what I do). Set aside. -
Step 2For cake: Sift baking powder and baking soda with the flour. Add sugar and salt in a medium bowl and toss lightly.
-
Step 3In a small mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and egg. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Mixture will be thick.
-
Step 4Pat dough in a 9 x 13 inch buttered baking dish. Sprinkle crumbs over dough (there will be a lot of crumbs). Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
-
Step 5Cool cake on rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!!
