Crumb Cake

Crumb cake

Prepare a yellow cake mix according to box directions.

Pour batter into a sprayed sheet pan. 

Bake at box directions for about 10- 12 mins (until the top is cooked enough to hold the crumbs-so they don’t sink)

While baking, make crumb mixture. 

Crumbs

5 cups of flour

2 cups sugar

2-3 tablespoons ground cinnamon 

4 sticks butter 

I usually do this in the food processor in two batches (just use half of everything and pulse it until it looks Sandy), dump into big bowl then repeat. 

You could do it by hand or with a pastry cutter but it takes longer. 

Remove cake from oven after 10-12 minutes and quickly put crumbs all over. Squeeze them in your hand to make them big chunks. 

Once the cake is covered with crumbs, put back in oven for 15 minutes. 

Let cool completely then dust with powdered confectioners sugar.
