Danish Crumb Cake image

My Grandmother Christine (Danish) passed this recipe down - She called it her 'company's coming' cake because from the time she noticed someone coming down the road to the homestead (by horse & buggy!) to the time they sat down for coffee this cake would be ready to come out of the oven! It's easiest when you use a med bowl for the main bowl, and a separate bowl for the milk and vinegar, the eggs and vanilla, and a small cup for the soda water. Once you make this a couple of times, you get into a rhythm and it becomes faster to toss together for a quick treat!

Time 40m

Yield 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup margarine
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon hot water

Steps:

  • Grease and flour bottom of 9 x 13 in cake pan.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream together first 3 ingredients.
  • Add the flour to this and crumb, setting aside 3/4 cup of crumbs for topping. (I find this part easiest to do by hand.)
  • Add the vinegar to the milk, let curdle.
  • Add the vanilla and eggs to the crumb mixture and stir to moisten.
  • Add the milk mixture and stir.
  • Dissolve baking soda in hot water, then add to batter and stir. Batter should be thin and slightly lumpy.
  • Poor in cake pan.
  • Sprinkle reserved crumbs over top of cake.
  • Bake on center rack for 25 - 30 minute.
  • Cut and serve warm or cold - I think it even tastes better the next day!
