I made these for him the other day, and Mom said he loves them and has eaten them every day. I'm thrilled to have this recipe.

It cost $3.99 which is now half of what Entenmanns charges for their Premium version. Entenmanns regular crumb cake is a waste of crumbs. The company is Table Talk-I bought one for me, one as a gift for someone who's addicted and never bakes. I promised to bake one using the recipe here. I won't EVER bake another crumb cake unless I can't find Table Talk's version. It does have that dense crumb with a thin layer of cake, so if that's not your thing...the epicurious might want to check out Ina Garten's version-its the version I was using before Cook's Country insisted they would improve on the perfection known as NY Style Crumb Cake!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049647118381011402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-15935738911852808012011-03-20T23:53:56.439-04:002011-03-20T23:53:56.439-04:00Awesome :) I was reading your recipe here and for ...Awesome :) I was reading your recipe here and for some reason forgot you were doubling the recipe. Of course I ended up referring to your page for a quick second when I had to remember how much baking soda, and I used double the amount. But if ended up coming out much better than the first time when I used half the called amount. Maybe something is wrong with my baking soda? lol! Either way, it's delicious and I mentioned you in my blog post about it. I made this four times this week, and there is absolutely none left lol!Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310584574673279979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-33406750802795226252011-01-31T22:36:55.830-05:002011-01-31T22:36:55.830-05:00this recipe was amazing! the only thing is my crum...this recipe was amazing! the only thing is my crumb top sank into the battered as it cooked but i thought it was good swirled with the cinnamon thru out the batter. i think i added a bit of to much butter i guess? but never the less this was wow wow wow in my mouth. the night befor i tried martha stewart recipe...she doesnt even come close to the taste of this recipe. it had no flavor really and a bit flourer taste too i did throw it out but this recipe yyyuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyy!!!annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668881977553446754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23189093.post-70019764459322006422009-08-08T10:49:11.118-04:002009-08-08T10:49:11.118-04:00This looks great.

Entemenns crumb is way too crunchy, actually they make a great black out cake. Ina Garten's NY Crumb cake, I think she calls it "The best Coffee Cake Ever" actually is a fool proof recipe and you can top the batter with blueberries before crumbling the crumbs over top. I prefer my cake straight tho. Dont cover when baking unless recipe specifically notes, make sure you're using butter and not a substitute, this recipe has a huge amount of butter, the crumbs should be rich and moist.

It was a huge hit! The cake was moist and a bit fluffy (not too dense), and the crumb to cake ratio was just right. There were plenty of yummy crumbs to make the whole creation perfect. I will not have to look for another crumb cake recipe again!

I live in NYC and Entemenns makes the only OTC coffee crumb HOWEVER, if you buy their 'premium' version similar to the one Kimball ate, the crumb layer is hard and very dense. ANyway, thanks so much. Your blog is beautiful, very warm and welcoming.
