Normally, I make my crumb cake with sour cream but I was out. This cream cheese version fit the bill perfectly thanks to chat gpt! I would say we have a new favorite crumb cake recipe! It was also so easy to put together. For a thicker cake you can use an 8×8 but I felt this was thick enough! If you love cream cheese desserts, you also have to check out my Reese’s Cream Cheese Banana Bread! It is in my oven right now and the house smells incredible!

I’m curious. Why always a 8 inch or 9 inch pan?? What about a 13×9 baking pan? For a larger crowd? It’s thick for the 9 inch pan. Would a person double it for a 13×9 pan?
Also, why are recipe bloggers now asking for a website?? When they never used to. What is the purpose of that??

I think I would double it for a 9×13! Asking for a website? I am not sure!
