Do you like a lot of \"crumb\" on your crumb cake? If you answered \"Doesn't everyone?\", you are going to love this New York Style Crumb Cake recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n

Just look at that delicious streusel layer on top. sigh!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the moist rich cake on the bottom. sigh!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not going to lie to you. There is nothing \"good\" about this cake. It has plain old all purpose flour and white and brown sugars and lots and lots of butter (almost a pound!). It is rich and sweet, happy feel good, scrumptious unapologetic comfort food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someday I may try healthifying it, but for now I give it to you in all of its original glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I clipped the recipe from the newspaper years ago and have been looking for an excuse to make it. My BFF since 8th grade stopping by for breakfast was the perfect occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'd say it was a success since she asked for a second piece plus I forced a to-go box on her when she left. M and J liked it too, but I had to be careful with J to make sure we all called it CRUMB cake and not COFFEE cake to avoid the \"I don't like coffee\" snub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for New York Style Crumb Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only trick that I learned the hard way was with the crumble topping. You need to mash it together in big handfuls to press all of the goodness together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then break those big \"balls\" into smaller bits on top of the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise the topping will end up somewhat of a loose powdery mess, which is NOT what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have included a reduced version of the recipe if you want to make it in a 9\" springform pan instead of a 9x13 pan. If you have a high sided 9 inch round or square pan you can try it in that, but be careful there is room for the cake to rise or it will overflow the pan or you will be cleaning your oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
