AMAZING. personally i couldn't stop eating it. loved the slight saltiness of the topping. I divided it and made two, adding seedless raspberry fruit spread between the cake and topping layers to one and leaving the other as is. i didn't spread the fruit evenly in hopes of getting a more home-made, swirled feel to it. if i make it again i would stick with the raspberry version. it was perfect and was the more popular of the two. when it came out of the oven i was disappointed because my topping didn't look particularly crumbly, but once you slice it you can tell that topping is definitely a different texture than the cake and crumbles nicely once you dip your fork in. thanks so much!

Excellent crumb cake. I think it is almost sinful to have it for breakfast, it is that good! Followed the recipe exactly.

Delicious!! Thank you for the great recipe, I had baked this for my mom for mothers day. I also had extra to give to my aunts as a nice morning breakfast. Tasted just like a crumb cake from the bakery.

Very good cake! For the crumb topping I used half white sugar half brown sugar and mixed all the dry ingredients. I then melted the butter and added in and used a fork to make crumbs. Another HUGE help was after making it once and all of the crumbs sunk into the cake I waited until the cake had only 5 minutes left to bake and added the crumbs. Worked perfectly this time! Thanks for the recipe!

I was craving a cinnamon crumb cake, and instead of buying one, decided to make this recipe instead. It's so delicious and smells amazing! I used half all-purpose flour, half cake flour because I wanted a little bit of a lighter cake, and it turned out wonderfully. The texture is super fluffy and moist. I however baked it in a 8x8 pan because I wanted a thicker cake, however I think it was too long in the oven for the crumb topping. My topping came out a little more crunchy than I would have liked, so next time, I'll sprinkle the topping on 10 minutes into the baking time. Thank you!

I added two tablespoons of yogurt and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and substituted buttermilk for milk, gluten-free baking mix for flour. And since we're in Maine, I added a cup of frozen Maine blueberries. My sweetie says that it's an 8 or a 9 out of 10! I'll make it again.

Absolutely perfect! Thank you.
Update: made as cupcakes/muffins: 340 degrees for 16 minutes in medium cupcake papers. Note: OMG perfect. Other note: only fill the batter half up instead of 2/3 up because there is a LOT of crumb topping and you also don't want to have them dome or the crumb topping only covers like 2/3 of the tops. So maybe medium cups with only 1/2 full batter would be 15 minutes - I dunno, I'll see next time.

Practicing on making a fancier fondant cake and had spare crumb that I didn't want to throw away, and saw on Cake Boss that Buddy makes his crumb cake with real crumb. Someone recommended this recipe, except substituting your spare crumb for the biscuit mix. Our leftovers was a dark chocolate cake. We spread the crumb, pushing larger chunks down into the dough like Buddy does. It was fantastic! I'd go a little easier on the butter and sugar for the crumb, maybe start with 1/2 or 1/4 and add to taste, but a 1/2 c butter was too much for the crumb I had left--still tasted good though, just no crunch, not that that's a bad thing. Seriously, if you're taking a cake decorating class this is a good way to use up your spare cake bits. Tasty! Plus the base dough is a great flavor. We're thinking of experimenting with other flavors in it, like apple or pumpkin.

For the cake I added 2 TBS sour cream and 1 tsp cinnamon. Made it super moist. Double or triple the crumb!!!! I love a large topping of crumb :) Recommendation to make the perfect crumb: mixture should feel like wet sand. Also, I cook the cake for about 10 min before baking to make sure it can hold the crumb. Make crumb first so you can let it refrigerate about an hour.
I have never been to NYC but this was a WONDERFUL recipe thank you for sharing!

I agree it does taste just like the Entenmann's coffee cake. We had it Christmas morning and it was wonderful.

My family loved this cake! I can't say if it tastes like entenmann's because I didn't actually have any. I'm diabetic. What I can say is my little girl loved it and my husband says it's waaaay better than entenmann's. You know, come to think of it, entenmann's doesn't even taste like entenmann's anymore. They were sold some years ago and things changed alot. All of the cakes and pastries they make were better before. Anyway, this recipe is very, very easy to make. I had it in the oven in just a few minutes. When I need a crumb cake, I will be making this one from now on. Thanks, yogi!

This was really good crumb cake! I especially liked the salty-sweet flavor of the crumbs from the biquick mix. Thanks for posting this!

This recipe is definitely a keeper, I'll be using it often. It is so good and easy to make. I've made it twice so far, once for a picnic where everyone really liked it, and for at home. It also makes your house smell wonderful when it's baking.

I would never dare compare this to that 'store brand' as this is so very much better. Made with self rising flour and skipped the baking powder. Sent 1/2 to my husband's office and got 3 calls about e-mailing the recipe to everyone and their spouses. Thank you very much.

picked this playing "I Recommend Tag" for Mother's Day brunch...thought it sounded likable to just about anyone's tastes and WOW was I happy with the results...just wonderful...lots of raves... It was light, buttery and yummy and I made subs w/ vegan margarine and "egg-cheaters"...ended up being a fav. dessert treat {{even for the normally more chocolate, pie or ice-cream prone personalities... lol ;) }} - perfect with a hot cuppa tea or Joe...every crumb just disappeared;) try this, really a must... you will be glad you did- :) JUST WONDERFUL!!!
