The Last Piece


This weekend my in-laws came for a visit. Having visitors means I get to cook my favorite dishes. Coffee Cake Crumble is one of my favorite things to serve for breakfast. It's delicious! So delicious in fact, that this is the last piece. Not to fear. . . I'm sharing the recipe so you can enjoy it too! Be warned it disappears quickly.

Coffee Cake Crumble

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Crumble Topping:
1/3 cup flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) grease a 9x13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the flour mixture and combine. Batter will be thick so stir it by hand.
Spread the cake batter in prepared 9x13 inch pan.
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Prepare the crumble topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon together. Sprinkle the crumble mixture on top.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
