- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×9 baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the crumb topping by combining all the crumb ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix using a spoon to combine the ingredients. Use your hands to squeeze the mixture together to create large "crumbs". Set aside.
- To make the cake combine the oil, egg, vanilla, milk, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute until smooth and combined. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour and mix until combined, about 30 seconds.

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.

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.

NANNA'S OLD WORLD CINNAMON CRUMB COFFEE CAKE
This recipe is from the Penrose Victorian Inn (bed and breakfast) in Haydenville, Massachussettes and is a heritage recipe. It is the best coffee cake I have ever tasted and ever made! I make it for our church breakfasts from time to time and everyone scarfs it right up! Just as fast as the Caramel Rolls! Now that is a feat here in North Dakota! I hope you enjoy this fabulous recipe! Hugs, Jelly :)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (325 degrees for a dark-finish pan).
- Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment, grease the bottom and sides and set aside.
- To make the crumb top, in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar; and cinnamon.
- Cut in the vanilla and cold butter on low speed until coarse dry crumbs are formed.
- Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
- If not using immediately, refrigerate until needed.
- To make the cake batter, without cleaning the mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract and beat well on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- The mixture will be loose.
- Add the flour; cinnamon, baking powder; baking soda, and salt and beat on low speed for 15 seconds.
- Add the sour cream and beat on medium-high speed only until the lumps smooth out and the mixture looks fluffy, about 30 seconds on medium-high speed.
- Do not overbeat.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
- Sprinkle the top evenly with the crumb topping.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is crisp and feels firm when gently touched in the center; the cake separates slightly from the sides of the pan, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean (it may be a bit moist; that's okay).
- Do not overbake, or the cake will be dry.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the sides of the pan.
- Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm, or cover in plastic wrap to serve later at room temperature.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting cake. Look for organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Measure your ingredients carefully: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are important for success. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan: This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your pan.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
Conclusion:
This vanilla and cinnamon crumb cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a tender crumb. The cinnamon streusel topping adds a delicious crunch and extra flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
