The blizzard "Nemo" is dropping tons of snow on our area today, so while I'm trapped inside for the next day or so, I decided I'd do some baking. I found a recipe for New York style crumb cake on Pinterest which looked divine! The recipe came from a blog called "Baked Bree," and it received rave reviews.
The recipe was super simple. I stared by putting together the batter using flour, sugar, baking powder, an egg, vanilla, oil, and milk. I spread the batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish, and then started on the crumb topping. I made the crumbs using melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I sprinkled the crumbs over the batter and it went into the oven to bake for about 25 minutes.

The entire kitchen smelled amazing as the crumb cake baked, I couldn't wait for it to be done! Once it came out of the oven, I sprinkled some powdered sugar over the top to finish it off.

After tasting the crumb cake I can tell you that this recipe is definitely a keeper! The proportion of cake to crumbs is perfect! All you need is a glass of milk or a cup of coffee to go along with the cake, and I don't know anyone who wouldn't love this! Such a great treat to have while watching the snow fall outside! Stay safe out there everyone!
