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!

HOW TO MAKE NEW YORK STYLE CRUMB CAKE?

  • Start by preheating the oven and greasing a square baking pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar and cream until fluffy and light. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix well.
  • Add dry ingredients alternating with sour cream. Mix well.
  • Spread the batter in prepared pan and make a crumb topping. Bake until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

HOW TO MAKE CRUMB TOPPING?

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together both sugars, molasses, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and stir. Add flour and stir until it all comes together. It will look like a thick dough.
  • Breaking it into pieces with your fingers, sprinkle the topping over the cake.
