I’m not sure why everyone is confused.
Make the topping first, in a big bowl and reserve 1/2 cups of it.
Now to the left over topping mixture that is in the big bowl add all of the cake ingredients and mix up. (Follow instructions by #2.)
Now do #3
Now do #4 if you want to….
When I make this I dbl it for a 9×13 pan and I also remember to find the instructions for substituting ingredients when using all purpose flour instead of cake flour.
I never have cake flour on hand.

I will like to know how are the changes in the crumb cake if you use 2 1/2 CUPS of flour or how do you use the the other half cup of flour?

The recipe still does not make sense. Love the crumb cake…store brought….would love to make for card partys…but only if the directions would make just a little more sense…I would try and wing it, but I’m not sure of all the flour. Please advise me of the correct recipe. Thank you ahead of time. Doing a great job…Love hearing from you.

OOPS! I’m sorry I forgot to paste the changes I made in spacing and renumbering that I made to Sara Lee Crumb Cake. Does the recipe now make more sense?

I too do not understand this recipe. Where does the crumb mixture end and the rest of the recipe for the cake begin? It is not specific in the directions as to the CRUMB MIXTURE.

[...] Over the holidays Chef Tom posted a recipe for crumb cake. Not just any crumb cake mind you, but it was a copycat recipe for Sara Lee Crumb Cake. [...]

Hi Joyce:
The first flour is listed as 2 cups of Cake Flour, I can only assume the 1/2 cup is all purpose flour.
Hope this helps.
