Classic Crumb Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Make the topping:
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large saucepan, melt all the butter; remove from heat. Pour 1/2 cup into measuring cup and reserve for mixing the cake batter.
  • Add the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir with a fork, pressing when needed, until there are no lumps of sugar.
  • Add the flour and stir gently until well blended and crumbly. Set aside.
  • Make the cake:
  • Lightly butter a 9 X 13-inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, reserved 1/2 C melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
  • Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients and gently stir until just blended. (do not overmix.)
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Break up the crumb mixture with your fingers and sprinkle it evenly and generously over the cake batter.
  • Bake until the top is lightly browned, the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack and dust with the powdered sugar.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
