Coffee Crumb Cake

Posted by jerseyjan at recipegoldmine.com May 19, 2001

This is a lot like Entenmann's.

5 cups flour (it's best to use half
    all-purpose flour and half Bisquick)
3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

Mix together with hands.

Add 1 1/4 cups oil (vegetable, Crisco)

Mix together with hands.

Divide this mixture...one half slightly larger than the other...use 2 bowls.

In the smaller portion add:

3 eggs
1 1/8 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix well until free of lumps (mixture will be thin).Pour into greased 9 x 13-inch pan.

In the larger portion add:

2/3 stick butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup ground nuts

Mix with hands, making crumbs, leaving some large crumbs.

** I usually make double the crumbs and leave large crumbs instead of small ones.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes till browned.

Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
