New York Style Crumb Cake
If a crumb cake is named “New York Style” you know it just has to be loaded with mile high crumbs! The crumbs on this cake are insanely delicious, incredible tall and packed with a total WOW factor. I have a little tip I discovered for keeping them extra high. While the cake bakes for 20 minutes, I pop the crumbs into the fridge! Also, when the cake comes out don’t immediately throw on the crumbs or the weight will push them through the cake! (Still delicious but not the look we are going for here!)
