Brown Sugar Crumb Topped Coffee Cake

Brown sugar crumb-topped coffee cake is a moist, buttery breakfast cake with a perfectly sweet crumbly top! It's quick and easy, too!

Brown Sugar Crumb Topped Coffee Cake

Brown Sugar Crumb Topped Coffee Cake!!!  This is one of my favorites!  While this is not a new recipe today, I discovered that somehow this recipe became jumbled during one of my software updates.  I decided to re-post it today since it's now fixed and everything is once again correct.   

I love crumb toppings and I am not stingy with the amount of crumb topping on this cake.  I think it is the best part!  It only takes about 15 minutes to whip this up and get it into the oven. Brown sugar crumb-topped coffee cake tastes great warm or cold.  I'm sure you are going to love it!

There are not many process pictures for this recipe because it is really easy.  Make the cake batter and spread it into a prepared baking dish.  

To make the crumb topping I use my food processor, however, you can blend it by hand.  

Just soften the butter a little.  The crumb topping should crumble in your hand as pictured above.  

It shouldn't be sticky, but it also shouldn't be dry or sandy.  Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

    Hey can you tell me how to prevent brown sugar from melting too much on topping?

      I can't say that I've ever had it melt. Did you substitute any of the ingredients? If not, then try cutting the amount of butter for the topping down to 10 Tbs.
