Candie'S Bakery-Style Crumb Coffee Cake
- 3 3/4 cups flour
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 lb butter (softened)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup milk
- Topping
- 1/4 lb butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
- Mix together in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking powder, salt; and set aside 2 cups of this mixture for the topping.
- Add butter, eggs and milk and mix well.
- Grease and flour a 13-inch rectangle baking pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- For Topping: Take the 2 cups of reserved flour mixture and add to the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Mix together with your fingers until blended and lumps begin to form when you squeeze the mixture making small pea-sized crumbs.
- (make them to your liking).
- We love HUGE crumbs on ours, so I squeeze handfuls of the mixture and let the big pieces drop off onto the cake batter and cover the surface with smaller ones as I empty the bowl.
- Cover the entire cake with crumbly mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- When cooled, dust with confectioner's sugar.
