Old Fashioned Crumb Cake

Nothing better.  Just add coffee.

This cake is so easy to prepare.

The different method here is the crumbs.  I don’t cut in cold butter.  I melt it, add sugar, then enough flour to form a crumb.  This way, the cold butter does not melt when baked and the crumbs stay as crumbs.  Learned this method ages ago from an old Taste of Home magazine.  The coffee cake was quite forgettable (it was some cranberry cake I think) but I never forgot the crumb making method.  Most times, my crumb toppings turned out looking like broiled toppings–where it forms a solid, one-piece sheet that crusts.  After learning to do it this way, my crumbs remain CRUMBS!

This is the pan I used for this cake–
