Grandma's Crumb Cake Cupcakes (Or Cake) image

This is a recipe my grandmother made all the time. I didn't like raisins, so she always made half without. Was I spoiled, or what? Like many of her old recipes that I have found, she didn't have instructions, just ingredients. (she used a wood stove to cook until I was in junior high (1960s), so many of her recipes just said bake in a hot oven, etc.) I tend to write down ingredients but no directions myself! NOTE: See step #8 for directions on baking as an oblong cake.

These cupcakes are amazing! I love the crumb topping. It's so crunchy and flavorful. The cake itself is also very moist and fluffy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of crumb cakes, but these cupcakes were really good. The crumb topping was perfectly crunchy and the cake itself was moist and flavorful. I would definitely make them again.

I'm a professional baker and I was very impressed with this recipe. The cupcakes were moist and flavorful, and the crumb topping was perfectly crunchy. I made a few changes to the recipe, such as using buttermilk instead of milk and adding a teaspoon

This recipe is a disaster! The cupcakes were dry and crumbly, and the crumb topping was hard as a rock. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a keeper! The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, with a delicious crumb topping. I used fresh blueberries and they added a nice pop of flavor. I also loved that the recipe wasn't too sweet, so I could really taste the butter and vanilla.

My grandma used to make this crumb cake all the time when I was a kid. It's so nostalgic and delicious, and these cupcakes are just as good as the original. The crumb topping is perfectly crunchy and sweet, and the cake itself is moist and flavorful.
