Grease and flour a 9×9 square pan or round pan (pie dish). My absolute favorite crumb cake. It’s perfect for a brunch, on Christmas morning, or just because it’s a Wednesday. With my hands, I squeeze the crumbs together over and over again, almost like playdough, until they come together to form one big “crumb.” I prefer using my hands to do this, over a pastry cutter, but both will get the job done. I’d say this process takes about 3-5 minutes, but trust me, it’s worth it. To get your crumbs to come together, you have to work the butter, flour, cinnamon, sugar mixture for a long time. That’s how I get the larger crumbs because once it comes together you can break off as big or as little crumbs as you’d like. Your crumbs shouldn’t have any loose cinnamon-sugar surrounding them and it should basically be one big crumb when you are finished. My “crumbs” were basically a bowl of cinnamon and sugar with chunks of butter every now and then. The cake is done when you insert a toothpick into the cake and a few moist crumbs stick to it.Īnother important note is something I accidentally learned while making this cake… For years I have never understood the technique of crumb making. The key is to not over-bake the cake because the less you bake the batter, the more moist/dense the cake will be. To infuse the heavenly flavors of butter pecan into the crumb cake, enhanced the butter flavor with one-and-a-half teaspoons of butter extract and folded chopped pecans into the batter at the end. The base of the cake is moist and springy, but not too airy, in contrast to the chunky cinnamon sugar topping. This crumb cake recipe is a far cry from any of those overly-sweet, fake-tasting store bought versions you may be used to. I merged the sweet-nutty flavors from my favorite ice cream, Butter Pecan, and the cinnamon-sugar flavors from the traditional crumb cake, and baked them into this crumb cake. Taking the classic crumb cake to a whole new level. It’s a complete miracle. homemade crumb cake is so much more delicious and satisfying. Because a homemade crumb cake is easy-to-make and 2. Some things are just not okay to buy from the grocery store, and packaged crumb cake is one of them. Absolutely delicious and extremely addictive. A cinnamon-sugary, buttery-pecan, extra crumb-topped coffee cake.
