Double Butter Crumb Cake

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!

    • 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.
