Breakfast Crumb Cake Recipe

We are obsessed with this yummy crumb cake recipe by the Country Cook. It's perfect for a Sunday breakfast or to make as a delicious dessert to enjoy after dinner. Inspired by our Vanilla Crumb Cake Candle, this Homemade Double Crumb Cake has double the crumb topping for double the flavor! 

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup milk, (or buttermilk for more moistness)
• 2 tablespoon canola oil
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crumble topping:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup light-brown sugar
• 1-½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup butter, melted and cooled (2 sticks)
• powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

For the cake:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. (For a thinner cake, use a 9 x13 baking dish).
• In a medium bowl combine 1 ½ cups flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
• In another bowl, combine egg, milk, oil and vanilla extract. Stir until it's all combined.
• Combine flour mixture with milk mixture and mix well. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish.

For the crumble topping:

• In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix it.
• Then pour in melted butter and stir until combined and clumps begin to form.
• Sprinkle those clumps (crumbs) all over the cake batter. If you are using an 8x8 baking dish - it will be thick.
• Bake for about 40-50 minutes for an 8x8 dish. Bake for about 30-40 minutes for a 9x13 baking dish.
• Use a toothpick to check for doneness (as oven times vary.) Check around the 30-minute mark.
• Crumb topping should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted to the middle of the cake should come out clean.
• Allow cake to cool then dust with powdered sugar and serve.
