Homemade Crumb Cake

This delicious crumb cake recipe comes from our friend, Alice Smith. It's the first time I'd ever baked a cake in a 17x11x1 pan. It was simple and tasty! It reminded me of the crumb cake we got from the bakery when I was a child.This cake takes no time to make, so you can make it in the morning and take it warm and fresh to your Christmas brunch!

Mrs. Smith's Crumb Cake

Batter

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 lb. margarine - very soft
1/4 lb. butter - very soft
4 eggs
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 17 x 11 x 1 pan

Place all ingredients in bowl and beat with electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Spread batter evenly into pan.

Topping

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 heaping tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 lb. melted butter

Stir dry ingredients together in bowl until well blended. Slowly pour melted butter into dry ingredients as you carefully mix with a fork. Mix gently, you want small and large crumbs, you don't want to mash them.

Sprinkle crumbs evenly over top and bake for 30 minutes. When cake has cooled dust with confectioner's sugar.
