Brooklyn/New York - Crumble Coffee Cake image

We have made the Favorite Coffee Cake many times. Yet, the topping sometimes would not cover the cake fully and was not as good as a topping I found for a New York Crumb Cake. Here I have combined the best of both recipes to come up with a great Crumble Cake. This cake part is from the recipe for Favorite Coffee Cake. (http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/cake/favorite-coffee-cake.html?p=3). The Topping Part is from a recipe for Crumb Cake by David Lebovitz. (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/coffee-crumb-cake-recipe/). Do try this recipe for Brooklyn/New York Crumble Cake. Enjoy!

TOPPING INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup(s) flour

Steps:

  • Prepare Topping: Mix together 1 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon & salt in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter & vanilla until the mixture is well combined and crumbly. Set aside. Note-I used salted butter, so I skipped the added salt in the topping.
  • Heat Oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease square 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Also, can use a 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan or a round layer pan 9 x 1 1/2 inches.
  • In a bowl mix the flour and baking powder. Whisk.
  • In another bowl, beat the shortening & sugar. Add egg and beat. Add milk and beat until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat vigorously for 1/2 minute. Spread in greased pan.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over batter.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool. Can sprinkle with powdered sugar after cake is cooled.
