Crumb Coffee Cake.
Crumb style coffee cakes are one of my favorite breakfast items to make. I really love the taste and smell of cinnamon. Whenever I make this my whole house smells like butter and cinnamon, I love the aroma. This recipe makes a moist coffee cake with a buttery cinnamon crumb topping.
For this recipe you may use salted or unsalted butter. I almost always bake with salted butter so if you are not then go ahead and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the batter of the recipe. I baked mine in a glass Pyrex 8×8” baking pan.
