NEW YORK STYLE CRUMB CAKE
New York Style Crumb Cake is my favorite coffee cake. All because of the topping. I tried many and this one is hands down the best. It won't sink into the cake, which I don't like. I added a tablespoon of molasses to it simply because I ran out of brown sugar. I have to say, I love the flavor it added to it. You can turn this recipe into muffins like I did with my Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins. Perfect for an afternoon snack!
