My favorite cake is crumb cake. It’s not too sweet and hits the spot any time of day. I often buy the little pre-packaged Sara Lee cakes at the store, but now I make a larger cake at home with this recipe. I’ll be honest, it doesn’t last long in my house. Within an hour I’m left with only crumbs and a full belly! This recipe is also featured in America’s Most Wanted Recipes Volume 2.

2 cup sifted cake flour
2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup margarine
1 egg well beaten
1/2 cup additional flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup milk

Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1.To prepare the crumb topping, use a fork to combine ingredients until crumbly; set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture.
2.To the remaining crumb mixture add remaining ingredients as given above. Beat well with mixer on low speed.
3. Spread evenly in a greased 8-inch square pan. Spread reserved crumbs over top and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
4. Dust warm cake with powdered sugar before cutting.
