crummy crumb cake

entemann's let me down.  real down.  like to the point of boycotting their brand from this day on.
we have an entemann's outlet not too far from us, prices are great for stocking up.  naturally, i will buy their crumb cake.  i grew up on it.

this time however, they left must to be desired.  with crumb cake, you have to at least have 1/2 inch of crumb to satisfy my requirement.  the two millimeters atop of my purchased crumb cake did not qualify.

(not gunna lie, i still ate the whole box).

my desire for crumb cake was not fulfilled.  i turned to google to help fill my void.

as much as i don't want to admit going over to martha's dark side, i must say that her crumb cake was exactly what i was looking for.

first time i made it, the batter didn't seem to cover the bottom of the 9 x 13 pan, so i doubled it.  and added fifty percent more crumb.  it turned out fine, but took forever to bake.
 
just stick with the original recipe.  new york crumb cake.

see what i mean about not covering the bottom.  but it all will turn out alright, i promise! baking powder will make it all better.

the crumb.

while baking, i took a picture of myself less than 24 hours before having number three.  

so much for having crumb cake for friday morning breakfast!

 

 

simple ingredients and ease of recipe have made this a go-to recipe for anytime i need to add another inch to my butt.

i mean, anytime guests are coming over:)

enjoy.
