OUTRAGEOUSLY BUTTERY CRUMB CAKE
This simple crumb cake is the BEST I ever tasted. The cake is so moist, and there is a ton of buttery crumb topping to die for. It's my aunt's recipe from the 1970's (hence the 1 pound of butter) and therefore of uttermost decadence, but oh so addictive! I've made this recipe so many times, with so many compliments. I basically eyeball the measurements now (I like a lot of cinnamon) but below is the original recipe.

- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Butter parchment; set pan aside. Combine milk and lemon juice; let stand 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture and beginning and ending with the flour.

CRANBERRY CRUMB CAKE
With their pleasant tang and gorgeous color, cranberries take this brunch staple to the next level. Here, they're nestled in a sour cream cake batter that's topped with a butter crumb, and cook down to add the perfect burst of sour. You can use fresh cranberries or berries that have been frozen and thawed, but note that the cooking time will vary depending on which you use. Lastly, while cranberries make this cake especially nice for fall and winter, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries would be excellent in the summer.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter the parchment. In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, butter and orange zest with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add in the vanilla. Beat in half of the dry ingredients at low speed, then the sour cream, and then the remaining dry ingredients, mixing just until no dry spots remain (do not overmix). Fold in 1 cup of the cranberries.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it out into an even layer using an offset spatula. Top with the remaining cranberries.
- Prepare the crumble: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and mix it in with a fork until evenly moistened.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top, squeezing into various-size clumps. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. If you are using fresh cranberries, start checking the cake around 45 minutes. If you are using frozen cranberries, this could take 55 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer the cake in the pan to a rack to cool completely (about 3 hours). Using the parchment overhang, carefully lift the cake and transfer to a cutting board to cut and serve.

STREUSELKUCHEN; GERMAN CRUMB CAKE RECIPE - (3.9/5)
Provided by Patricia_Scarpin
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- GERMAN YEAST DOUGH: Scald the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. You will see steam rising from the surface of the milk and small bubbles forming around the edges. Remove the pan from heat and let stand until the milk feels warm to your fingertip, about 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer should register 110 to 120ºF. Sprinkle the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar into the milk and stir well. Let stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is bubbly and foamy. To make the dough using a stand mixer: combine 2-1/4 cups of the flour with the remaining sugar in the bowl of the mixer and add the butter and lemon zest. Attach the flat beater and mix on low speed for about 3 minutes. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the flour looks mealy. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand, add the yeast and eggs, and stir with a rubber spatula to make a moist, thick dough. Switch to the dough hook and beat on low speed for 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes, or until the dough becomes sticky and elastic and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Scrape the bowl and the dough hook. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the dough and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled in size, 1 hour or more depending in the warmth of your kitchen. Lightly flour your work surface. Dislodge the dough from the bowl with a pastry scraper, scrape it out onto the work surface and turn to coat all surfaces lightly with flour. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball, cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. The dough is now ready to use. Note: if you are using only half the dough, place the second ball of dough into an airtight container and refrigerate it. The next day, shape and bake it into another Streuselkuchen. MAKE THE STREUSELKUCHEN: Butter a 9-inch square baking pan* (do not use cooking spray - the dough must adhere to the pan). Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to the size of the pan. It will be about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the dough to the pan and pat it onto the bottom and into the corners. Do not make a rim; the dough should be flat. Cover with a kitchen towel. To make the streusel crumb topping, put the flour, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and butter into the work bowl of a food processor (I used my Kitchen Aid mixer with the paddle attachment) fitted with the metal blade. Pulse 5 or 6 times, then let the machine run just until the ingredients begin to form small crumbly masses, about 30 seconds. Do not process beyond the crumb stage. Uncover the dough. Press the crumbs to form clumps the size of large peas, and sprinkle on the top of the dough. Continue making larger lumps of streusel and sprinkling them evenly all over the dough. There will be a generous layer of streusel covering the dough. Cover the Streuselkuchen with a kitchen towel and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Uncover the kuchen and place the pan in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the kuchen has risen almost to the top of the pan and is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the top with a generous layer of vanilla confectioners' sugar. Cool completely on a wire rack. This is at its best when very fresh. Cut into portions with a sharp knife. NOTE: I used a 20cm (8-in) square pan and it worked fine.
VELVET CRUMB CAKE (ORIGINAL RECIPE FROM BISQUICK)
I got this recipe off the side of a Bisquick box over 20 years ago. It's the best cake I've ever had. They took the recipe off the box so I e-mailed them and asked them to send it to me. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but this is one I could eat everyday. I changed the coconut to Wheaties as I can't see a crumb cake with coconut. I've always made it with Wheaties. I also double the topping because it's so sweet and good, but I wrote the recipe as it's called for. Hope you enjoy this. By the way they've since put this recipe back on the box.

Tips:
- For a moist and tender crumb cake, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a more tender crumb.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more airy cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
- For a streusel topping, combine flour, sugar, butter, and spices in a bowl. Work the mixture together with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter before baking. The streusel topping will add a crispy and flavorful crust to the cake.
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Crumb cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its tender crumb, sweet streusel topping, and endless variations, crumb cake is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give crumb cake a try!
