New York crumb cake? This means crumbs as big as your head! Thick, rich, buttery crumbs packed with cinnamon! I used cinnamon chips in this cake which pushed it over the New York edge! Perfection! Read on for the New York Crumb Cake Recipe!
Crumbs:
4 cups flour
2 ½ cups sugar
4 sticks butter-soft
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Mix all ingredients together in a mixer. Form into tight pieces w/your hands. Chill crumbs in a bowl in the fridge while preparing the cake.
Cake:
1 stick butter
8 oz pkg cream cheese, soft
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup + 2 T. milk
1 cup cinnamon chips (Mine are from ABC Cake Decorating and they are fabulous!!) Chips are optional-cake is delish plain, too
Preheat oven to 350. In a mixer, cream butter & cream cheese. Add sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat till smooth. Combine dry ingredients and them as you alternate with the milk. Spread in a 10×15 pan. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle on your huge crumbs!!! Bake for an additional 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
