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.

SHEET PAN CRUMB CAKE



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!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

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.

PANTRY CRUMB CAKE



Pantry Crumb Cake image

More of a snack or breakfast than a showy dessert, a homey crumb cake doesn't need the oohs-and-aahs of any guests. It's the kind of thing a small family can devour in a few days, and a single person can freeze in slices, at the ready whenever the urge for brown sugar and butter hits. (Just wrap each slice up separately and store them in a container in the freezer; a slice will thaw in under an hour on the counter.) This cake is also extremely adaptable: Use whatever spices you like. If you don't have oats, use more flour or chopped nuts. And feel free to use whatever fruit, fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned, you have on hand.

Time 1h

Yield 1 (8- or 9-inch) round or square cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup/110 grams packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/55 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
1/4 cup/30 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/20 grams old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon ground spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg or a combination)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup/160 milliliters sour cream, yogurt or nondairy yogurt, buttermilk, crème fraîche, or milk acidified with 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest (optional)
1/2 cup fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries, cherries, grated apple or pear, chopped pineapple (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square pan.
  • Preparing the topping: Add all the topping ingredients to a medium bowl. Use a rubber spatula until they all start to clump together. Squish or roll the mixture into mostly large crumbs with some smaller ones.
  • Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract. Add half of the flour mixture, then beat in the sour cream. Add the remaining flour, and mix, just until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in the zest and fruit, if using.
  • Pour the batter into the baking pan and top evenly with the crumbs. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan. It'll be gone before you know it.

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.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Cake Mix Cake Recipes     Yellow Cake

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.

CRUMB CAKE



Crumb Cake image

This crumb cake has been a family favorite for years. The first time I took it to work as a treat for my co-workers, my boss told me that his grandmother used to make the same cake. He said she called it "kuchen" and served it in a bowl, broken into chunks, with milk poured on top. You can serve it plain for breakfast, or with whipped cream as a dessert.

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 12-16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups packed brown sugar
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
Whipped topping and pecan halves, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Remove 1 cup mixture and combine with cinnamon and nuts; set aside. To remaining crumb mixture, add milk and baking powder. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping over batter. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cut into squares. Garnish with whipped topping and a pecan half if desired.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use 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, which will make the cake lighter and crumbier.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda: Old baking powder and baking soda can lose their potency, which can result in a flat cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can make a delicious crumb cake that is moist, tender, and full of flavor. Crumb cake is a versatile dessert that can be served with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream. It is also a great way to use up leftover cake batter.
