Notes: I have searched for years for a bakery that makes NY style crumb cake - or a recipe that worked, but never found one until this one. This recipe is perfect, with light, fluffy cake and a thick layer of crumb on top! I also top the cake with confectioner's sugar once cool, as that's how I recall the NY crumb cakes were served.
Be generous with the crumb mixture and you cannot go wrong with this recipe!
