I have been making this cake since 1989. I got it from a local newspaper. It is always a hit whenever I make it or take it somewhere. It is my go-to recipe when a host requests a dessert. Try it...you'll like it!! :)

How To Make lots-of-crumbs coffee cake

  • Topping ingredients, ready to make crumbs.
    1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For topping: Combine flour and sugars, and ground cinnamon, in a large mixing bowl and toss lightly to combine. Pour in melted butter and stir lightly with a fork to form crumbs. To make large crumbs, squeeze fistfuls of mixture together. (This is what I do). Set aside.
  • cake ingredients, before adding buttermilk mixture, to make dough.
    2
    For cake: Sift baking powder and baking soda with the flour. Add sugar and salt in a medium bowl and toss lightly.
  • buttermilk mixture to make cake dough.
    3
    In a small mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and egg. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Mixture will be thick.
  • dough in buttered baking dish, ready for crumbs.
    4
    Pat dough in a 9 x 13 inch buttered baking dish. Sprinkle crumbs over dough (there will be a lot of crumbs). Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
  • cooled and ready to serve.
    5
    Cool cake on rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy!!
