Nanna's Old World Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake

HotPepperRosemaryJelly's Note:

This recipe is from the Penrose Victorian Inn (bed and breakfast) in Haydenville, Massachussettes and is a heritage recipe. It is the best coffee cake I have ever tasted and ever made! I make it for our church breakfasts from time to time and everyone scarfs it right up! Just as fast as the Caramel Rolls! Now that is a feat here in North Dakota! I hope you enjoy this fabulous recipe! Hugs, Jelly :)

I too had to bake for 45 min, other than that pretty easy and wonderful !! Was a birthday cake for my husband who hates chocolate and not a fan of a lot of sugary icings..
Thanks for the recipe !!

Turned out very well! YUMMY! It was light and airy, had a very buttery flavor and the crumb topping was delicious. My only complaint was that it ended up taking 45 minutes to bake rather than the suggested 25 and that is a pretty significant difference. Other than that, success!

I couldn't find my favorite crumb coffee cake recipe so I made this one. I now have a new favorite. My husband loves this. Moist and delicious.
