Double Butter Crumb Cake is my recipe of the day for a blogging event celebrating National Coffee Cake Day. Ten bloggers have grouped together to share their sweet treats. And I am one of them.

I went about combining aspects of a streusel coffee kuchen I had posted before. And then I threw in a double batch of my yellow crumb topping. Y0u may have seen that on my Cinnamon Roll Pizza. That crumb is one I am pretty sure is commonly used in industrial bakeries. And it’s something you might see as yellow streusel on store bought baked goods.
As well, commercial bakeries are likely to use large boxed cake mixes. As their base. Certainly not artisan bakeries. But ones who do high volume.
The idea behind all the crumb was to keep it like a crumb cake, sort of New York style.
The funny part is that like the double butter coffee cake, the cake itself took a hard left turn and left me worrying if it would work out. It gets quite a bumpy top.
I had to wait until it cooled down to see for myself. And guess what? Yum.
It’s actually marvelous and the best coffee cake I have put together yet. We can debate f it tops crumb cakes and double butters in their fame, but it is certainly up there. Those who enjoyed had many kind words and superlatives. It was almost embarrassing. Still, definitely a keeper. Make sure you pin it so you don’t lose it!

What an amazing mash up! Must check out the Strawberry Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake too!
The best coffee cake you have put together yet!! That’s pretty high recommendation. Makes me want to try it for sure!!
It looks like it won’t make it as it bakes- like a lumpy mutant. I was very worried, but then? I ended up very happy with it. It’s like the story behind the double butter (which was a happy accident). I expect it will be the foundation of some future bakes as well.
