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

  • Brown Sugar Crumb Topped Coffee Cake

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!

The Brown Sugar Crumb Topped Coffee Cake crumb topping in a food processor.

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. ย 

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

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.

      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.
