Ingredients for the Cake
1/2 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup of oil
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
Ingredients for Crumb Topping
2 cups of flour
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 7 x 11 pan
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer (or your stand mixer) to combine all cake ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Spread batter in pan and bake for 10 minutes or until partially set. Set the pan aside until ready for topping.
3. Combine the all crumb topping ingredients except the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Mix until it forms a crumb consistency. Sprinkle crumbs over the cake pan, pressing lightly and ensuring full coverage of the cake batter. Bake 20 minutes or until light brown. Let the cake cool for at least an hour.
4. Before serving, dust the entire cake with confectioners' sugar. Cut the cake and serve!
Notes
This cake doubles beautifully and uses the entire cake mix. Double all the ingredients including the crumbs - the whole point of NY style crumb cake is to have a HUGE crumb layer. If doubling, use two 7 x 11 pans.
