Sheet Pan Crumb Cake image

It's no secret that the best part of a crumb cake is, well, the crumb! Unlike other versions, this sheet pan dessert is half cake and half crumb topping, for more deliciousness in every slice. The cake part is perfectly sweet, with just the right amount of tang from the sour cream, while the topping is mega buttery and spiked with cinnamon. Win-win!

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted
3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream

Steps:

  • For the crumb: Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle in the butter and mix with a fork until just combined. Add the flour and mix with the fork until it has been evenly distributed and small to medium clumps have formed. Do not overmix or it will turn into a paste.
  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream in 2 batches, starting and ending with the flour. Beat until just incorporated.
  • Spoon the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared baking sheet and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle on the crumb topping and press gently into the batter to adhere.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the baking sheet, about 1 hour. Slice and serve from the baking sheet.

CRUMB CAKE



Crumb Cake image

A super-generous crumb topping and genius pastry chef trick make this the best crumb cake ever.

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h10m

Yield One 9x13-inch cake (12 squares)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2½ sticks (10 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ cups (packed) light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups cake flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
Confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a spoon, stir in the cake flour one cup at a time, until the mixture forms a cohesive dough, like a very thick and clumpy cookie dough. As you add the last cup of flour, the mixture will be difficult to stir, so feel free to ditch the spoon and use your hands to mix it in. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack to the middle position. Grease a 9 x 13-in cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed, scraping the bowl as necessary, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition (don't worry if the batter looks a little curdled at this point). Beat in the vanilla and scrape the bowl to make sure everything is evenly combined. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream (half of the flour/all of the sour cream/then the remaining half of the flour), mixing on low speed with each addition, until just combined.
  • Spread the cake batter evenly in the cake pan (it will only come about ¾ inch up the sides of the pan). Top the batter with the streusel crumbs, using your fingers to break it apart and form it into roughly ½-inch chunks. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool fully on a rack. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into squares to serve. Cover the cake with aluminum foil and store at room temperature; it will keep nicely for up to 3 days. To keep the cake fresher longer, store it in the refrigerator but bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or freezer wrap. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

OUTRAGEOUSLY BUTTERY CRUMB CAKE



Outrageously Buttery Crumb Cake image

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
⅔ cup water
3 eggs
½ cup butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups butter
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12x18-inch jellyroll pan.
  • Beat the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, and 1/2 cup softened butter together with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour the cake batter into the prepared jellyroll pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cake are light brown but the middle of the cake is still slightly gooey, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, butter, and flour together in a large bowl until the mixture forms medium crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven, and press about 3/4 of the crumb topping onto the top of the almost-baked cake. Reserve the remaining topping.
  • Return the cake to the oven, and bake an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the crumb topping is firm and the cake is cooked all the way through.
  • Remove the cake from the oven, and sprinkle with the remaining crumb topping. Let the cake cool to room temperature, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
