| I love crumb cake. Gonna save this one. Thanks for posting it! |

| That's a lot like the Cooks Illustrated recipe. I made it and was not pleased with the taste or texture. I couldn't make sense of why there's more flour in the topping than in the cake. |

| I assume this one is the kind that has LOTS of the big chunks of crumbs on it, which I like. Hope the OP comes back & verifies the quantities on the topping. |

| The crumb topping for a New York style cake is meant to be thick. Yes, Ginger, the large quantity of butter and flour allows for serious crumbs. A friend from New York said she hadn't had such a good crumb cake since she left New York. |

| Definitely going to make this, then. The crumbs are the best part. Thanks again. |
|
| Thanks, Lorna, I also make Sue's recipe like Eileen does but I'd love to try one that doesn't call for a cake mix - on very rare occasions I get the urge to make something homemade, LOL. As a New Jersey girl, we think the Jersey crumbcakes are the best, LOL! |

| I used the crumb part of the recipe to make an apple crisp this afternoon. I am pleased with it. The crumb cake recipe is really easy, not much more bother than using a boxed mix. I lived in New Jersey,and upstate New York, when I was a kid. I'm originally from Massachusetts, but lived most of my life in northern California. I moved to New Mexico a few years ago. |
